The idea of creating books for kids and adults has been on my mind for many years. However, between teaching and coaching both volleyball and math teams for 32-plus years, I never had the time to pursue this endeavor, which was always on the back burner. Now that I am retired, I can dedicate time to creating fun and interesting books.
While teaching, many members of the middle and high school math teams I coached loved doing puzzles in their spare time. I watched them work together on word searches, logic problems, and puzzles to relax before major competitions. These mental challenges also got their competitive juices flowing as they raced each other to finish a particular puzzle or task.
After I retired from my teaching career, I spent several years working with mathleague.org. I traveled around the United States, running math competitions at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. I witnessed students from all over the country learning to solve complex problems. These same students often came with coloring books or activity books to work on during the breaks in the competitions. When I coached the Wild Wild West Team at the prestigious American Regions Mathematics League competition, we would end the event by hosting a casino night for any teams who wanted to participate. The coloring books we offered as prizes were often the most coveted, as the students loved to color to while away the time as they traveled home to their respective states.
My wife and I enjoy spending time together, tackling word puzzles, coloring, and playing card games, such as Gin and Cribbage, and having game nights with friends. We are also trivia buffs and love to go to local pubs for an occasional contest.
Once we decided to start creating books, we knew we needed an experienced artist. The obvious choice was our dear friend, Skya Nelson, an accomplished artist who has had art displayed in galleries worldwide. Knowing his skill level and busyness, we were not sure he would be interested in embarking on this writing and puzzling journey with us. We were very excited when he agreed to do our artwork and clarified that he embraced the ideas we hold dear and wish to embody in our company. Skya brought a wealth of artistic and marketing experience to our creations. His enthusiasm, joyfulness, and intelligence have elevated the quality of everything we produce. And all of the artwork in our books and our beautiful covers has been drawn by Skya. We do not use any AI-drawn pictures.
Working together, we came up with the name Bapa Books. My granddaughters call me Bapa, and it is extraordinary for me to have this as our company name. Our company was created to foster fun, relaxation, creativity, and learning for all ages. Adults have commented that they love our books as they provide a pleasant distraction from everyday life. After searching for words, coloring, or learning unusual facts, they feel less stressed and are ready to get on with the demands that dominate their lives. Children lose themselves in the challenge of finding the hidden words in our Word Search books and enjoy coloring the cute and fun pictures that accompany the puzzles. Our Coloring Book series for young children teaches them letters, numbers, and simple spelling and has been a big hit. Coloring the unique and zany pictures is the icing on the cake.
Also, parents of younger children have given us much positive feedback about our Supersaurus Reading Journal. They read a story to their child at bedtime, and the next day, the child can explain what they liked about the story and how it made them feel using simple and charming emojis. Our granddaughter couldn’t wait to get home from pre-school each day to do her Supersaurus “homework.” Having children experience this at a young age will help them become life-long learners.
We hope you enjoy our books as much as we did making them.

Coloring Books for Adults and Kids are always a great gift idea and a fantastic way to clear our heads, relax, and concentrate. Some people even find coloring to be a form of meditation, where we leave the rest of the world behind and simply enjoy staying in the lines.
