Series: Super-Junior
Jonas & Barney
Super-Junior
Jonas is still just a little boy – curious, cheerful, and always on the go with his best friend Barney.
This coloring book is aimed at the very youngest from 2 years of age.
The child-friendly illustrations are kept very simple, with especially large areas and clear lines. This way, coloring is not only fun, but also helps develop early motor skills, concentration, and the joy of creative design.
About the Author
I am Jens – actually a physicist, electrical engineer, and software developer, but I’ve always enjoyed creative work.
Since becoming a father, my interests have expanded even further: Our son Jonas has shown me how exciting, humorous, and valuable everyday things can be – especially when seen through a child’s eyes.
Together with my wife Jessi (she is a teacher) and our dog Barney, we have become a small family that loves discovering new things – and tidying up quite often. That’s how the idea for “Jonas and Barney” came about.
What began as a lovingly illustrated coloring book has continued: With further adventures, new themes, and little stories about order, environment, togetherness – and all the things that matter in everyday life.
I’m glad that you are here. Maybe you’ll also find some inspiration, a smile – or simply lots of fun coloring.
Dr. Jens Richter
