Terrence N. Tullgren

Author of coloring books that enrich lives and build character and self-confidence in children.

Donnie Learns is a series of fresh and inspiring stories about a young boy who learns empowering secrets by watching the behavior of deer in the woods near his home. These seven books provide a simple way for any child to understand fundamental values. Retro illustrations are combined with old fashioned values to reinforce each lesson. Black and white images allow each child’s innate creativity and imagination to flourish as they color each page. The Donnie Learns collection of books can serve as a foundation for character development in children and fits into the Core Curriculum/First Grade/Unit 3/Life Lessons.

The first book in the series, Donnie Learns How To Make Friends was originally written for children with autism. After rigorous testing, these books proved beneficial to all children. Temple Grandin, subject of the Academy Award winning film bearing her name, acknowledged in December 2012, “These books look like they would go to a bigger audience than just kids with autism.. Kids are not learning basic values and I think that’s a real problem. You just really have to get these books out there.”
