The Little Boy Who Inspired Books by Jonathan
Hi, I’m Jonathan Misiekaba—the heart and soul behind “Books by Jonathan,” an online bookstore born out of love, creativity, and fatherhood. As a passionate writer and devoted dad from Suriname, my mission is to craft educational and imaginative books that ignite joy and curiosity in children around the globe.
How a Sunny Afternoon with My Baby Inspired My First Children’s Book
In 2022, the spark to write children’s books ignited when I became a father. One memorable afternoon, my 6-month-old son and I were outside, exploring the world together. As I taught him about his senses—pointing to my nose and asking him to point to his—a simple, interactive moment turned into the inspiration for my very first book, “Show Me Nosy!” The joy in his eyes and the bond we shared that day motivated me to create more books to inspire learning and connection for children everywhere.
Building Bonds Through Books
Another unforgettable moment that shaped my journey as a children’s author happened during a quiet afternoon at home. My son and I were flipping through family photos, a simple activity that quickly turned into something extraordinary. As we looked at pictures of my childhood and family gatherings, I pointed to a photo of myself standing next to my brother and asked my son, “Can you find Dada in this picture?”
His little eyes lit up with excitement as he scanned the photo and confidently pointed to me. Encouraged by his curiosity, I turned the page and showed him a picture of his mother with her sister. “Now, where’s Mama?” I asked, and he giggled as he took a moment to figure it out before pointing to the correct person.
That playful, heartwarming interaction sparked an idea. What if I could create a book that encouraged moments like this—moments of bonding, learning, and discovery between parents and their children? That’s how my second book, “Show Me Dada!”, was born.
This book isn’t just about recognizing faces in family photos; it’s about building connections, nurturing curiosity, and creating memories. With engaging storytelling and interactive elements, “Show Me Dada!” helps children deepen their understanding of family relationships in a fun and meaningful way. It’s a celebration of those small, everyday moments that bring families closer together—moments I treasure with my son and hope to inspire in other families around the world.

Books by Jonathan is much more than just a collection of books; it’s a heartfelt labor of love, crafted with the mission of nurturing young minds and sparking a lifelong love for learning. Every page is designed to ignite curiosity, inspire creativity, and provide children with both educational and enjoyable reading experiences.
As I continue on this incredible journey, my goal is to reach as many children as possible, giving them access to stories that entertain, educate, and empower. Each book is made with the utmost care and attention to detail, reflecting my commitment to creating resources that will make a difference in your child’s life.

Exploring the Alphabet and Beyond
One day, as my son gleefully tried to recite the alphabet in English after watching a Cocomelon video, I had an epiphany. While I was proud of his effort, I realized how important it was to teach him the alphabet in a way that was not only educational but also creative and fun. I wanted to make learning an adventure, sparking his curiosity and imagination at every step.
That moment of inspiration gave birth to “The Alphabet Adventure: A Journey Through Our Colorful Nature!“ This unique coloring book takes children on an exciting journey through the alphabet, introducing them to animals, fruits, and vibrant imagery that captivates their attention and encourages interaction. It’s not just a book—it’s a tool for learning, discovery, and bonding, designed to make the alphabet come alive.

And although my son is still too young to fully enjoy the book, he remains the driving force behind its creation. His curiosity and excitement continue to inspire me to craft stories and tools that nurture young minds and bring joy to families everywhere.
