Soapmaker & author

The owner of Au Naturelle Soap & Stuff is also a children's book author known as "Gramma Russo". I create engaging children's activity books, coloring books, and storybooks for kids ages 3 and up. 

Each of these coloring books tells a story about Florita and her friends embarking on adventures where they learn valuable lessons such as patience, sharing, caring, acceptance, embracing diversity, bravery, courage, and the joy of learning new skills and trying new things.

My journey in writing began when I decided to develop a letter tracing book for my granddaughter, aiming for a fun way to help her learn to recognize and write the letters of the alphabet. To date, I've authored more than 14 books featuring "Florita Flamingo" and her friends. These are not just ordinary coloring books; they are storybooks that your child can bring to life through their creative coloring. Additionally, I offer two tracing books—one focused on letters and the other on numbers—along with two full-color storybooks (not coloring books). All my books are available on Amazon.com here: https://www.amazon.com/author/grammarussobooks.

You can also purchase the books directly from this website, but due to shipping costs, it may be more economical to order through Amazon.com, especially if you have Amazon Prime for free shipping.

I hope your little ones enjoy the Florita Flamingo books and have as much fun with them as I did creating them!
