Where can I buy the Caelos and Red Runner books?

The easiest place is Amazon — all five titles are there, including individual paperbacks, Kindle editions, and the hardcover compilation. You can also find them on Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, and Better World Books. If you prefer shopping locally, you can walk into most bookstores and order them — the series is distributed through Ingram Spark, which supplies independent bookstores, chains, and libraries nationwide.

What formats are available?

Each of the four story books is available as a paperback and a Kindle ebook. The compilation — all four stories plus the workbook collected in one volume — is available as both a paperback and a hardcover. The individual workbook, Create Your Own Adventure, is available as a paperback.

Are these good baby shower gifts?

Yes — and this is one of my favorite ways to think about them. A parent-to-be gets a beautiful hand-painted book at the shower, and then a year or two later sits down and reads it with their child. The books are written for early readers roughly ages 4–8, but they work well as read-alouds for younger kids too. They started as bedtime stories, so that’s really what they’re built for.

What occasions work well for gifting these books?

Birthdays, baby showers, holidays. Honestly, they work for any occasion where you want to give something that doesn’t feel generic. These are hand-painted, independently published books that look different from what’s mass-produced. The full series also makes a meaningful gift for a child who loves to read, and the workbook is a great standalone for a kid who likes to write and draw.

Is there a way to buy directly from Macchi’s Den?

Right now the best place to browse the full series is the Book Catalog at macchisden.com, which links out to Amazon. That’s the quickest path to purchase.
