About M.J. Artel

M.J. Artel is an independent colouring book creator and producer: one person making every book, from the first idea to the finished pages.

Colouring books with a story

Most colouring books are a stack of unrelated pictures. M.J. Artel’s books are built around characters and a story, so a child colouring the fox at the steeplechase knows who that fox is and why the race matters. Every picture in The Wildwood Games and the Robot Coloring Book comes with a page of story, which makes colouring time a natural moment to read together.

Made for small hands, and for growing ones

The books are made for ages 4–10, and any age can enjoy them. Pages use bold, clean outlines and big shapes that younger children can fill confidently, with enough detail for older kids to take their time. Some pages invite children to add their own ideas, like designing a symbol for each Wildwood team.

Local editions, and other languages

The Wildwood Games comes in two English editions: A Coloring Book for the United States andA Colouring Book for Canada and the United Kingdom. Fully translated editions are available in other languages too.
