How it started

Real childhood BooBoos, turned into a storybook adventure

The book began with Leon’s childhood adventures with his twin brother, Paul — plus the legendary BooBoos that came with them. Diana took those big, silly moments and illustrated a world kids can jump into (and grown-ups can’t help but laugh at).

Leon Lai

Leon Lai is one half of the husband-and-wife team behind BooBoos to the Rescue! Inspired by Leon’s real-life childhood adventures with his twin brother, Paul — and their BooBoos — he’s the brain behind the story and the laughs.

Diana Coleman

Diana Coleman is the other half of the creative duo and the artist behind the book. With her illustration talents (and plenty of family inspiration from their four young children), she brings the BooBoos’ world to life for kids and grown-ups to enjoy together.

A peek behind the scenes

A little writing, a little drawing, and a lot of family fun and imagination — this is how the BooBoos come to life.
