The first coloring book telling Apple's story to kids! A screen-free STEM journey into innovation, from the garage to the iPhone.

For parents who grew up tinkering with the Newton MessagePad or lusting after the G4 Cube, explaining the magic of Apple's history to an iPad-generation child can be tough. This book has the solution: turn off the screens and break out the crayons.

Created by digital literacy expert Gabriele Gobbo, this 74-page book features 13 historical milestones to read and color. It bridges the gap between "Digital Sleepwalkers" and the active spirit of the original computer revolution.

What's Inside:

The Origins: From the Apple I garage to the Macintosh.

The "Cult" Classics: Rare appearances by the Pippin, Newton, and G4 Cube.

The Modern Era: iPod, iMac G4, and iPhone.

Bonus Pages: Word searches and games.

Perfect for kids ages 4-12, nostalgic parents, and STEM educators.
