About the book
BooBoos to the Rescue! is a laugh-out-loud picture book for kids — and the grown-ups reading along.
Inspired by real childhood adventures (and real BooBoos), this story brings big giggles, big heart, and a world you’ll want to revisit again and again.
The story
A rescue mission for every bump, bruise, and “uh-oh!”
Every kid knows the drama of a tiny tumble — and every parent knows the performance that follows. BooBoos to the Rescue! turns those everyday moments into a silly, heroic adventure where comfort comes fast, laughs come faster, and even the smallest BooBoo gets a big-time save.
Made by a real-life family team
Created by husband-and-wife duo Leon Lai (writer) and Diana Coleman (illustrator), BooBoos to the Rescue! is packed with family-inspired humor — powered by their four kids and Leon’s childhood memories with his twin brother, Paul.
Art you can almost hear giggling
Diana’s illustrations are bright, expressive, and full of little details kids love to spot on the second (and third) read. The BooBoos were hand painted with watercolor paints!
From page to page, the BooBoos’ world is designed for read-aloud fun — perfect for bedtime, classrooms, and gift-giving to families who like their stories with extra silliness. Give it a whir! Oh and try to find our pet cat Spock hiding in a couple of the pages.
A peek at the BooBoos world
A little storybook energy, a little character chaos, and a lot of “read it again!” vibes.
