Coloring Book Creator D. Byron Patterson | An Amazon Q&A

Q: Byron, tell us about this world and the characters in this coloring book?

A: Well, I created this lamb character a few years ago. I designed him, gave him a unique voice and a playful, imaginative world. I surrounded him with a group of lovable disabled misfits, some real (like Jonesy the Chinese puppy dragon) and some brought to life (like Lamby or his best friend Snout - both of them toys). I fell in love with the idea of a patchwork family of wounded little magical beings striving to overcome their fears, prejudices and doubts BECAUSE of their physical or emotional disabilities.

Q: Do all the characters in this coloring book have special needs?

A: Well, everyone in Lamby's world is damaged or broken in some way. They all have special needs and must learn to trust and support one another. The collection of stories fill in the details of what makes them special - that's below the surface. The stuff ABOVE the surface is just a LOT of silly, sweet and funny goings-on.

Q: So are there messages?

A: I do my best not to hit young readers over the head with obvious messages about one thing or another. The messages are there BECAUSE of the story and not the other way around. Kids are much smarter than that, so they don't need to be spoon-fed.
