The Book Maker
As a kid I always felt something magical happen whenever I opened up a new box of crayons and coloring book... it was like unlocking the door to a secret world filled with adventure!
Hi, I’m Cordelia Staxx. I was born under the maple leaves of Canada and eventually made my way to Ohio at 29, where I took on the challenge of Curriculum Writer & Program Director for a K-6 After-School Program. If you think herding cats is difficult, try wrangling 50 kids at once! It was within those vibrant (and loud) walls the seeds for my books were sown. I became hopelessly devoted to activity and coloring books (colouring, for you Canadians), forever enchanted by their charm.
Designing these books for you is a labor of love. I hope you enjoy the worlds within them as much as I enjoyed creating them for you. This is a place where whimsy and wisdom 'dance like no one’s watching,' then boldly plant a kiss on the cheek of imagination—because no one is!
I live in Cincinnati with my incredible husband, and the fluffiest orange dog in the Midwest, Jazz!

The Mission then became how to wrangler this entrepreneurial vision and create something new, exciting, and different in the world of coloring and activity books.
The Solution was to keep stay authentic and handcraft each book to find the perfect balance between challenge and entertainment.
The Result? BOREDOM BEGONE! You and your family can enjoy hours of enriching activity. Now let’s get your imagination (and markers) flowing!
