May 11th marks 5 years of coloring pages - can you believe it? (That's the very first one there on the right.)I had no idea what I was getting into when I started them so long ago. But they've turned out to be one of my best moves ever! Not only have they proved to be the best marketing for me and my books I could have ever conceived - they have brought me so much joy. Your emails and notes over the years have kept me going through some of the toughest times in this crazy world of children's publishing (and believe me, it can be tough). And its thrilled me to no end to know you've shared them with your children and young readers.
SO! To celebrate, I am giving away one of my books (your choice - it can even be a coloring book) to one of my commenters. How have you used my coloring pages and what have they meant to you? Now's your chance to share! And I'll sign and dedicate the book for you and send some bookmarks along as well.
Thanks so much for the years of appreciation - it's meant the world to me!

Happy 5th birthday to your coloring pages. I just love your whimsical images and the fact that they encourage reading and creativity. I have used them to make cards and printed them for my kids to color. It's been so fun to share them with my kids. Thank you for sharing them with us.
Congratulations, how exciting!! Wishing you many more. ~jeni :)
I use them to destress at the end of a looooong day! Coloring is so soothing. I am looking forward to coloring your coloring pages with my son once he gets past the crayon eating stage!
Thanks for doing what you do!
Happy 5th Birthday!! I use your coloring pages for story time and the children love them and of course I have to color a sample picture which I thoroughly enjoy doing :)
I remember about two years ago you created a Save the Library coloring page. It was a great way to get our message across in a fashion that was attractive to children. We hung up all our coloring pages so patrons of the library could see. Thanks again.
I use the coloring pages in my school library for those kids who don't want to check out books. They very much enjoy them! Thanks for the hard work.
