When you open this book, it isn’t just a story - it’s your playground. That’s why I’ve designed the cover and illustrations for one thing: you. Yes, you! This is your invitation to colour, doodle, scribble, and make the book your very own.

Why just read when you can create? Grab your pencils, pens, paints, or even glitter - whatever sparks joy. Add colours that make your heart leap, little drawings in the margins, or notes that capture your thoughts. There are no rules here, no “right” way to do it.

This is about letting your wild way find its way out. Maybe you want to turn a shy character into a rainbow tiger, or add your own secret map in the background of an illustration. Maybe you want to jot a feeling you had while reading or sketch a tiny doodle that reminds you of a friend. Every mark is yours, every colour is a story, and every note is a piece of your own adventure.

I hope this book becomes a living, breathing reflection of your imagination. Don’t hold back. Colour outside the lines, write upside down, paint in patterns that make no sense - just make it yours.

So, go on - pick up your colours, grab your favourite spot, and dive in. The world inside these pages is waiting for your wild, wonderful touch.
