The Color Critters ® series was created and written by Adam Cummins (Adzy C.). How The World Got Its Color was published in 2021, followed by Blues Take a Vacation in 2022. The Color Critters And Mayor Maroon's Vision is the third book in the rhyme scheme series (currently in revision).

Adam's motivation to create the books is due to precious time spent reading with his sons before bed. He eventually surprised his boys with laminated story booklets written and illustrated "By Dad".  Adam re-discovered the buried stories in 2019 while unpacking.  Emotions flooded from those precious moments.  Soon after, How The World Got Its Color was published in hardback.
