I had this really fun idea for a coloring and activity book series. I was inspired to create this line of coloring and activity books while learning about Regenerative farming practices. I never stopped coloring as a kid and in recent years have found the coloring book offerings to be kind of not good. So why not take the settings that were playing in my head and learn to draw while I make fun coloring books. I am having fun planning out fun little adventures and puzzles featuring this cast of animal friends. Barnyard Buddies is a coloring book about animal friends on the farm who live in or around Billy Barn, the friendliest barn this side of the Mississippi! Color these cute animal friends in a variety of country side scenes.
My first draft was not great. I just submitted my second version in to Amazon KDP to get approved. I learned a lot making the first version, I fixed so many small errors and cannot wait to get the approval e-mail. Especially since I hadn’t updated the description yet. Note to future self, update the description before submitting the next one. Silly mistake to make in hindsight.
I have a fun cast of characters.
We have Collin and Mortimer the brother cats. Collin takes his job very seriously while Mortimer often has his head in the clouds, and is even known to have a fun time playing and making friends with the mice he is supposed to be chasing.
Michael the Mouse in particular is known to be good friends with Mortimer . Randal the Dog is also friends with Michael and Mortimer. They are three unlikely best friends.
Elizabeth the pig, Millie the Cow, Sammie the Sheep, Curtis the Horse, and Francine the Mule all live inside of the Billy Barn.
Hellen the Hen and her chicks live behind Billy Barn next to the pond. She is found chatting with Maureen the Mallard and her ducklings. Sunny the Chick and Jared the Duckling are two rivals, having great fun competing over who is the best bird.
I hope this fun world is one you will enjoy too!
