This is a coloring page of Jules Verne - famous French writer who is called the "Father of Science Fiction." He was born in 1828 and his father wanted him to become a lawyer when grow up, but Jules loved stories and adventures. As a boy, he liked reading books about traveling and exploring faraway places. He imagined amazing machines like submarines, spaceships and airships long before they existed. Once he even tried to run away on a ship to see the world, but fortunately his parents stopped him - thus he didn't get lost and became a writer.
His most famous books are Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Around the World in Eighty Days and Journey to the Center of the Earth. These books became very popular because they were fun and made people dream of new adventures. And they inspired many inventors and scientists to create the things described in these books. I think, this story can show kids that curiosity and learning can take them to amazing places with no need to run away from home and travel around the world. And I hope this coloring will be useful for kids. I've also added the name "Jules Verne" to this page so that kids learn letters while coloring them.

I think I must have read Around the World in 80 Days like a dozen times. My favorite occupation was imagining a new place Phileas Fogg visited and drawing it. I was always so proud of my drawings, while they probably looked like a big mess of colors. But hey, it's the thought that counts, right?
Seeing this coloring reminds me of those good old days when I would just get lost in those stories for hours. I can't wait to print this out and maybe share it with my kids too. They might not appreciate Jules Verne the way I did, but I bet they'll love the coloring part!
