Nora Escapes the Bakery Coloring Pages
Printable Fun for Kids (and the kid in all of us)
Nora Escapes the Bakery is almost ready. The illustrations are complete, the story is being shaped with care, and soon I’ll finally get to place it in your hands. That moment has been five years in the making, and I can feel it getting closer with every page, every revision, every small decision that brings Nora’s world into clearer focus.
But before Nora fully steps into the world, I wanted to offer something you can experience right now. Something simple, joyful, and hands-on. Something that lets you meet her before the story officially begins.
The Nora Escapes the Bakery Coloring Pages are officially here!
A Little Taste of the Bakery
These pages are more than just printable sheets. They are a doorway into the bakery. They give children, families, and educators the chance to sit down, pick up a crayon, and engage with the characters in a way that feels immediate and personal. Before the plot unfolds and before the adventure takes shape, you get to meet Nora, Preston, Dune, and Gayle right where they are—waiting, ready, and full of personality.
Inside the collection, you’ll find a growing set of pages featuring Nora, the curious butterscotch cookie who dares to dream; Preston, the steady and thoughtful friend who brings warmth wherever he goes; Dune, the playful and wandering pup who finds joy in every direction; and Gayle, the heart of the bakery, whose presence holds everything together. There is also an Adventure Pack filled with additional fun, and a mystery character quietly waiting to be discovered.

Something Special Already Happened
Before I even had the chance to formally share these, something meaningful happened. Two of my newest members of the Cookie Crew, Kinsley and McKenna, received their prints early. They sat down at the table, spread out their pages, and began coloring Nora and Gayle with care, focus, and their own creative choices. Watching them engage with these characters in real time reminded me why I started this journey in the first place. It is one thing to imagine a story. It is another thing entirely to see it come alive in someone else’s hands.
That moment stayed with me. It reminded me that this book was meant to be experienced, shared, and reimagined by the very people it was created for. That is why these coloring pages matter.
Why I Created These
I wanted children to step into Nora’s story instead of just reading it. I wanted them to make their own decisions about color, expression, and possibility. This is their moment to laugh, to explore, and maybe even begin asking their own questions about what lies beyond the familiar. These pages are a small but meaningful bridge between imagination and reality, and they allow Nora’s world to begin unfolding long before the book is released.
The Adventure Begins Here
So, are you ready? You don’t have to wait to begin the adventure. You can start now, right where you are. Download a page. Print it out. Sit at the table. Choose your colors.
