Books for busy minds, big feelings, and finding where you belong.

Author Sarah VanSickle

I’m Sarah VanSickle—an author, educator, leader, and coach. I’m also a mom, wife, lifelong athlete, and dog person. I create children’s books, coloring and activity books, and personal writing inspired by ADHD, identity, leadership, family, and real life.

Big Feelings. Bad Words.

Big Feelings Bad Words is an adult coloring book for anyone navigating stress, burnout, boundaries, healing, and the beautifully messy process of becoming who they are.

Honest, funny, validating, and just a little unhinged, it combines bold words with creative pages that help you pause, let it out, and feel less alone. Big feelings deserve space, and sometimes doing your f***ing best is more than enough.

Jovie’s Not-So-Spooky Halloween

A Halloween Coloring & Activity Book

Celebrate Halloween with Jovie, a curious Boston terrier puppy who makes the season playful instead of frightening. Created for ages 4–8, this 112-page coloring and activity book is filled with costumes, mazes, puzzles, matching games, Halloween safety, and plenty of not-so-spooky fun.


The Noise Inside My Head

An ADHD Coloring Book

Created after my ADHD diagnosis at 39, The Noise Inside My Head brings to the page many of the thoughts, habits, and feelings I spent years trying to understand.

Through relatable coloring pages, reflection prompts, and activities, it offers a creative space for busy minds of all ages to slow down, reflect, and hopefully feel a little less alone.

Writing, coloring & activity books, children’s books, ADHD, dogs & real life 🤍

I’m sharing the books as I create them, the stories behind them, pieces of my memoir, and the thoughts and experiences that finally started making sense after my late ADHD diagnosis.

There will also be plenty of motherhood, leadership, everyday life, and of course, Jovie and the rest of the dogs.
