The books are physical paperbacks sold on Amazon. The free coloring pages are printable PDFs; you can download one page without email or request the five-page pack by email.

Two paperbacks are available on Amazon: First Words Around Me (26 coloring pages) and Little Pause at Home (35 coloring pages). Both are 8 x 10 inches, printed on one side with blank backs. See the Books page for previews.

The separate free pack includes LUNCH BOX, SCOOTER, ROCKET, TRAIN, and WATER BOTTLE. These five extra pages are not excerpts from every book. You can see book-specific interiors on the Books page.

Your email is required for the five-page PDF request. Optional updates about new books and free pages are a separate choice on the form.

Leaving the updates box unchecked still gets you the PDF. If you do choose updates, you can stop them at any time by replying to any of our emails. If you need help, email little.pause.pages@gmail.com.
