I'm a Creative Chameleon is a picture book for children and adults who were never meant to fit inside one box, one color, or one way of being.
They asked me one day,
“What’s your favorite hue?
If you had to choose one, which color are you?”
“What’s your favorite hue?
If you had to choose one, which color are you?”
I told them,
I won’t choose one color to wear
when a whole world of wonder is waiting
out there...
I won’t choose one color to wear
when a whole world of wonder is waiting
out there...
I'm a Creative Chameleon is an invitation to embrace every color within you and discover the magic of being wonderfully, unapologetically yourself.
Part poetic story, part artist's sketchbook, and part love letter to the creative spirit, this is a book for anyone who has ever felt drawn to a little bit of everything.
Inside you'll discover:
• A celebration of creative possibility. A reminder that you don't have to choose one passion, one talent, or one way of expressing yourself.
• Playful, nostalgic rhymes. Soothing and satisfying rhythms and goosebump-worthy words that spark imagination.
• Bold, colorful artwork. Expressive paintings, experimental sketches, and a world of color that brings its own personality to every page.
• Inspiration for all ages. A story that nurtures children discovering who they are and the inner children of grown-ups who could use a reminder that they never outgrow curiosity.
• An invitation to follow your own way. Trust your impulses, and give yourself permission to try on whatever you feel inspired to do or be.
You don't have to pick just one color.
Why should you have to choose?
A little peek inside
So why should I limit
the colors I wear,
or stick to one way
like I'm stuck in a square?
the colors I wear,

More than a book for children
I'm a Creative Chameleon is part of an idea I'm calling Inner Children's Books: imaginative, artful books created to delight readers of all ages and nurture the curious, creative, wonder-filled spirit living inside us all.
Because creativity doesn't have an expiration date. And the parts of us that love to imagine, explore, make things, and see the world with fresh eyes deserve room to play at every age.
Whether you're sharing it with a child, gifting it to a creative friend, or keeping it for yourself, I hope this book brings a little color, joy, and inspiration into your world.
