This has been such a special project close to my heart. 💚 Brave Little Colors was created to help children feel brave, included, seen, and celebrated exactly as they are. These books are filled with creativity, encouragement, imagination, and everyday adventures designed to help kids build confidence and joy. As a nurse, creator, and someone living with diabetes myself, representation and encouragement matter deeply to me. I wanted to create books that remind children that differences are beautiful and that they are never alone. And this is just the beginning… ✨ I’m also excited to begin creating books and resources for women — especially midlife women navigating wellness, diabetes, life transitions, and the desire for simpler, healthier rhythms. Thank you to everyone who has supported, encouraged, shared ideas, and cheered me on through this journey. It truly means so much. Here’s to brave little moments, colorful adventures, and new beginnings. 🌈📚✨ https://tinyurl.com/DiabetesSuperpowerBoy https://tinyurl.com/DiabetesSuperpowerGirl

One thing I see a lot with coloring book creators is they publish their book and then sit back waiting for reviews to magically appear. The challenge with coloring books is that they are usually only offered in paperback format, which can make reviews a little slower because readers actually need to receive the book, use it, color in it, and enjoy the experience first. Here are a few ideas that can help: ✅ Build a small review team before launch - reach out to your network and ask people if they would be willing to support your book launch (while staying within Amazon guidelines), community members, or people already interested in your niche and let them know your book is coming. ✅ Share flip-through videos- Create short videos on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Pinterest, or social media showing pages inside the book. People are more likely to buy and review when they can see what they are getting. ✅ Include a reminder inside your book - Add a page at the beginning or end with something simple like: "I hope you enjoyed this coloring book! Reviews help independent creators like me continue creating more books." ✅ Drive more sales first- Reviews usually follow volume. If your book sells 5 copies, reviews may be very limited. If it sells 100+ copies, your chances increase naturally. ✅ Create excitement around your niche- People often buy coloring books because of a passion or interest. Join communities where your audience already hangs out and become part of the conversation. One thing I wouldn't do: ask for only positive reviews or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Amazon takes review policies seriously. Question for you all: If you have published a coloring book already, what has helped you get reviews? 👇

I need to update my cover to my coloring book. I am lost as to how to do that. The directions don't make sense. Thanks, Becky
