S.M. Green

After 25+ years in tech and project management, S.M. Green finally figured out what they wanted to be—a kid. Born and raised in Austin, TX, Green grew up surrounded by music, falling in love with the city's vibrant scene while playing in bands with friends all over town. Now, he channels that passion into creating coloring books that go beyond whimsical pages, blending music-themed stories with inspiration and creativity. A lifelong lover of rhythm, Green’s books invite kids (and kids at heart) to color outside the lines and find inspiration in every page. At home, he’s backed by a rockstar crew: a supportive wife, Amy, four kids (each with their own music genre), and two legendary dogs—Lemmy and Lita Gordita (the punk rocker of the pair). With a mission to mix music, art, and imagination, S.M. Green is here to prove that growing up is optional—but creativity lasts forever.
