A Coloring Storybook for Big Feelings
Hi, I'm John-and this is Out of Sync, the first story in my Bolt Voltage series. It's a therapeutic coloring book created for kids, teens, and adults who feel things deeply and need a gentle way to explore those emotions.
Bolt, the main character, is a brave little bot with a big heart-and even bigger feelings. His journey through Out of Sync is packed with challenges like anxiety, self-doubt, and low self-esteem. But instead of pushing those feelings away, Bolt learns how to sit with them, understand them, and keep moving forward.
This isn't just a story-it's a creative, interactive experience. Each page combines emotional storytelling with detailed black-and-white illustrations you can bring to life through coloring. Along the way, you'll discover simple tools for emotional regulation, mindfulness, and self-reflection. Whether you're a kid learning how to name your feelings, a teen figuring things out, or an adult just trying to catch your breath-Out of Sync meets you right where you are.
This book is for anyone who:
Every page was made with care-and every sale helps support my family, including my amazing wife who's been living with long hauler's syndrome. This project is personal, and my hope is that it brings peace and healing to whoever picks it up.
So come color with me. Let's process, reflect, and grow-one page at a time.
