Interactive Kids' Book Celebrates Teamwork and Creativity Casey by Janis and Marshall Rice is a charming erasable coloring storybook that inspires children with themes of community, friendship, and imaginative play

KEEGO HARBOR, Mich., Feb. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Authors Janis and Marshall Rice introduce Casey, an imaginative children's storybook that invites young readers to explore friendship, teamwork, and creativity — with a fun twist: it's an erasable coloring storybook!

Casey is a cheerful front loader who loves helping others and working hard in the little village. When heavy snow blankets the town, Casey and its trusty friend Sydney the bulldozer come to the rescue, clearing the way and bringing life back to the community. But what do they do with all that snow? Readers will have to discover the surprise inside!

More than just a story, Casey is an interactive reading and coloring experience designed to spark imagination and develop fine motor skills. Its wipe-clean, reusable pages allow children to color, erase, and create again — perfect for endless fun and creativity.

"We wanted to create something that lets children not just read, but participate in the story," the authors shared. "Casey encourages creativity, teamwork, and a sense of community — all through play."
