Losing a personal item is very common, but how strange would it be to lose your bellybutton? In the premiere of Doc Colour's first illustrated children's book "The Bellybutton Factory" this is the extraordinary predicament of Nimbolfix, a young boy who discovers one morning that his navel is missing. Nimbolfix could never have foreseen that such a bizarre predicament would ultimately bring him face to face with Miss Ironseed, the lady in charge of the Bellybutton Factory. But one must be careful for what they ask for because, as Nimbolfix experiences, things can take a wild turn, leaving one to learn what to truly appreciate in life. Set in a whimsical and humorous world, the story's stanzas are complimented by Colour's highly unique black&white illustrative style rendered in pen-and-ink. The Bellybutton Factory is a witty and thoughtful story: fully illustrated, fully rhyming, and fully imaginative.

It's Fonna's twelfth birthday, and her family has just moved to a new neighborhood. Unfortunately for her, she never approved. "I'm so far from my friends, and these street names are strange," she'd sadly complain. Not even the celebration of her birthday can cheer Fonna up. That is, until she receives a rather curious (yet potentially rewarding) gift from her mother which challenges Fonna to make as many new friends as she possibly can at her new school. Will Fonna's attempt at making friends ultimately pay-off, or will she find all of her efforts dashed to pieces? In this third children's book by Doc Colour, "Fonna's Change Mantel" is an impassioned and devious story with a wonderful rhyming style that is witty and fun to read. Illustrated for the first time in color, Fonna and her friends brilliantly come alive on the pages as their free-spirited personalities uniquely interact, leaving Fonna to calculate the true value of friendship.

Dobs, the butler of the Vonburst estate, has grown bored of doing the same repetitive things day after day, but not everyone working at the Vonburst mansion is feeling the same way. Ofelia, the house maid, loves her job. Only Dobs has the urge to explore a new dimension. What crazy plan could he be hiding up his cuff-linked sleeve? Well, one never knows when some celestial light might shine upon them, to fuel and fill ones heart in a surprising new way. No doubt, Dobs is in for quite a ride that might just end up launching him into a bizarre direction. In Doc Colour's fourth children's book, The Discontented Butler, you will be served exactly what you've come to expect: clever rhymes and an emotional story-line filled with wonder and whimsy. Doc's illustrations have been rendered in a much more jagged style this time, giving them a raw appearance that's uniquely expressive and intriguing to gaze upon.
