Michael Thompson, Storytelling Magic In Every Coloring Page

Michael Thompson

Education:

  • B.A. in Journalism – University of Missouri
  • Certificate in Children’s Media Writing – New York University

 

Highlights:

  • A member of the SCBWI (Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators).
  • A storyteller for the youth community workshops who has won the award.
  • A member of the developing team who designed and published over 100+ coloring activities that integrate stories and knowledge.
  • Has been working as a storyteller for young learners in multimedia for more than 7 years.

With experience as a creative content writer across numerous fields, such as family connection and kids' learning and development, Michael is a professional in using words to appeal to adults, like parents or teachers. He’s also a talent at combining stories inside coloring activities. So, each page through his hands becomes “active” and even “adventurous” as the real objects, making each coloring moment meaningful and enriching. 

Experience:

  • Wrote the Highlights for Children (a monthly magazine for kids aged 6 to 12, including stories, jokes, and educational content) and National Geographic Kids (a prestigious magazine to introduce the natural world, cultures, science, and adventures to kids).
  • Created printables with many holiday themes for the online educational hub of the Crayola (an American company focusing on kids’ art supplies and materials).
  • Wrote scripts for educational shorts with an animated style for children.

Some Thoughts from Michael Thompson:

“For me, storytelling is a magic that appeals to me so much, even when I become an adult. As I learn more about this field and explore it more deeply, I realize that I can do both coloring and storytelling at the same time! I want to spread special feelings when diving into stories and art to others, especially young learners, so I choose to work as a content writer for the ColoringPagesJourney platform to create a wonderful world on each page. With that in mind, I want all pages here to be perfect, with both happiness and memorable experiences, for children.”
