Jessica D. Adams writes children's books about The Underground Toy Society that aim to teach children to love and appreciate what they have, think of others, and hopefully clean their rooms. Jessica's two daughters are the inspiration for the books, as well as co-illustrators for many of the books. Jessica also wrote short time travel books, Meeting Grandmom and Back to Grandmom, which are great stories for kids as well as adults to remember or talk about lost loved ones and family history.
Jessica has visions of The Underground Toy Society traveling around the world, with many books being created to help teach children to clean their rooms, appreciate what they have, and think of those who may not have as much. While the goals of the books are to help kids want to clean their rooms, appreciate what they have, and think of others, there are no guarantees that kids will learn these lessons. These books are for entertainment purposes and individual results may vary.

Samantha and Stacey are two dolls who used to live together, but their owners grew up, and the dolls ended up in separate homes. Samantha wants to find Stacey and one day she met Murry Mole. They plan to go out at night to different houses to find Stacy. Samantha found many abandoned toys in houses and, together with Murry Mole, tried to find a home for them, thus creating the Underground Toy Society. Jessica D. Adams uses The Underground Toy Society: You're the Illustrator to create a magnificent coloring book that explains in detail the beginning of this group of friends and at the same time includes different activities so that children can interact and relate to the story. In this book, children will paint and draw, adding more life to this story of friendship.
I liked the values covered in this book. The Underground Toy Society: You're the Illustrator talks about friendship, helping others without looking for anything in return, loyalty, and valuing what you have. Jessica D. Adams speaks very plainly about toys so that children will take care of them and appreciate them. As it talks about companionship, children will also learn to share more openly, knowing that the important thing about a toy is that it can be used to stimulate creativity. Another positive aspect is that this is not just a coloring book because through its pages it tells the emotional story of Samantha and her friends.
