Ayla Bear Stands Tall
A Story About Choosing Good Friends
When a fun new friend starts leading her the wrong way, Ayla learns one of the biggest lessons there is — you slowly become like the friends you spend your time with. A gentle story about courage, character, and choosing good friends, with a picture to color on every page.
Print it at home, or take it to your local library for a few cents a page. Stack the pages, staple the left edge, and it’s ready to read and color.
A little more than a coloring book.
Part coloring, part lesson
Every book is a real story with a heart — kindness, honesty, courage — wrapped in pages kids get to color themselves.
Made to print
Black-and-white on purpose — easy and cheap to print at home or at the library, and kind to your printer’s ink.
Read again & again
They read it, color it, and come back to it — so the lesson sticks a little deeper each time.
New stories, coming soon.
We’re writing more Color & Grow books — each one a new story, and a new lesson worth keeping. Check back soon, or explore the family basics while you’re here.
