Coley Bear's Blue-tastic Day is a children's book by Shelley Smith Adams that tells a true story about her son, Cole. Inspired by a cartoon he's watching, Cole decides to paint-but he uses himself as the canvas, turning "bluer and bluer" with fingerpaint! When his sister Ryleigh and their Mom discover the colorful mess, they are surprised. But Mom chooses to see the joy and pride on Cole's face instead of the mess.

This heartwarming story teaches children that a little mess can be a beautiful expression of fun, and that the love and understanding of family are what truly matter.

The book is dedicated to the author's son, Cole, who has Down Syndrome and sees the world in a wonderfully unique way, inspiring others just by being himself. Vibrant and cheerful, this book captures the playful spirit of a fun-loving child.
