The S. S. Coulter Bookshop

Welcome

Stories, jokes, and activities that make families laugh, learn, and stay close.

I write books for the families who still believe in reading together — the kind of reading that ends in giggles, big questions, and "just one more chapter." Whether you're here for a bedtime adventure, a faith-filled belly laugh, or a coloring book that will keep a kid busy for hours, you're in exactly the right place.

The Fassa Tails Series

Hilarious adventures and activities that build the skills kids carry forever.

The Fassa Tails series is a collection of illustrated children's adventure books designed for readers ages 4 to 8 (PreK through Grade 3). Each story stars Fassa — a lovable rescue cat with a knack for finding trouble and a bigger knack for finding heart. The books are written to be read aloud, which makes them perfect for bedtime, classroom read-alouds, and cozy weekend mornings.

What Makes the Series Different

Every book in the series comes paired with a 40-page interactive activity workbook that extends the story into hands-on learning. Vocabulary, comprehension, creativity, and heart skills — reinforced in a way that feels like play, not homework.

Built Around the Skills That Matter Most

At the heart of every Fassa Tails story are the life skills kids carry with them forever — empathy, emotional intelligence, teamwork, resilience, and the pure joy of play. These aren't lessons tacked on at the end. They're woven naturally into every adventure, so kids absorb them while they laugh.

Who the Series Is For

For Parents

Looking for more than just a great story? Each book pairs with an activity workbook that turns reading time into a creative adventure — hands-on play designed to spark imagination and keep kids engaged long after the last page.

For Teachers

Need a read-aloud that connects to the life skills you're building in your classroom? Each title is classroom-ready, with companion workbooks that make lesson planning easy and engagement high.

For Gift-Givers

A Fassa Tails book — or the full series — is the kind of gift that gets read over and over, and remembered long after the wrapping paper is gone.


God's Dad Jokes

Punny humor of Biblical proportions — for families who want a little more laughter in their faith.

God's Dad Jokes started with a simple idea: the Jesus we hold in our hearts isn't only loving — He's also happy. He smiles. He laughs. He probably tells a few bad puns. This collection is a love letter to that side of the Creator, and a reminder that joy is a real part of faith.

The Original

God's Dad Jokes

Over 100 hilarious, faith-based puns paired with cartoon angel illustrations by Fernando Medina and a Bible verse reference for every punchline. It's a joke book, a conversation starter, and a gentle on-ramp into scripture — all at once.

A gift-first book with a built-in dedication page ("Dear" and "From") that makes it ready to wrap and pass on.

Why it works as a gift:

  • Faith-building laughter that connects beloved Bible stories to clean, wholesome humor
  • Scriptural engagement — every joke pairs with a specific verse
  • A joyful perspective on faith for the believer in your life who could use a smile
  • Built for gifting — perfect for Father's Day, birthdays, baptisms, pastor appreciation, or any moment that calls for a little heavenly laughter
