This coloring and activity book is based on the wordless picture book An Unusual Friendship: Journey Through the Seasons and features artwork from the original illustrations alongside new scenes from the farm. Readers are invited to step into Wrigley the corgi’s world with his friends Sheldon the gentle Morkie-poo and Stash the curious calico cat as they explore fields, barns, porches, and seasons on a real Tennessee farm.

Inside, you’ll find a mix of simple, charming pages and more detailed, painterly scenes-something relaxing for younger colorers and satisfying for older kids, teens, and adults who enjoy taking their time. Some pages are cute and whimsical, while others feel like you’re coloring a storybook painting, so families and classrooms can all share the same book in different ways.

Created by longtime educator and reading specialist Cookie Kavy, An Unusual Friendship: Journey Through the Seasons Coloring Book works beautifully for quiet time, classroom centers, early-finisher work, or family art nights. The illustrations can be used to spark conversation, storytelling, and writing practice while everyone colors together with Wrigley, Sheldon, and Stash.
