Miko’s Journey

Miko’s Journey is a picture book with a coloring page next to each story page, following the adventure of Miko the chameleon who is moving to a new forest. Miko has to say goodbye to his family and friends and start the scary adventure to his new home. Though he has fun in his new forest and learning a new language, he misses his friends too. The story ends with Miko making friends with a zebra and getting to ride on his back.

After the story, there are extra coloring pages of Psalm 139:9-10 and then 8 discussion questions for kids who have recently moved to a new place.

Embassy Kids Coloring Book

This coloring book was created specifically for US diplomats’ kids, though others who go to the embassy for visas may find some images familiar. Kids color their way through an American Embassy, learning who works in an embassy, what they can expect if they visit, and what life might be like living abroad. It includes forty full-sized coloring and activity pages. Pictures look like they were computer-created from photos, which works better with some subjects than others.

Reading level: 7 to 9 years
