Every Papa Scott & Scottie Ray story starts with a real family — come say hello.
The books are make-believe in all the best ways — animal parades, counting games, and trips through Bible stories — but the people in them are real. Here they are, drawn just the way they appear in the books.
A grandfather, a granddaughter, and a lap full of stories.

The Storyteller
The storyteller. Papa Scott turns ordinary days — a trip to the zoo, a shared strawberry — into stories with a lesson tucked inside.

The Star
The star. Curious, joyful, and always mid-adventure, Scottie Ray loves dancing, strawberries, bananas, popsicles, and a good game of hide-and-seek.
Real family · Real days · Real lessons — every story starts at home.
No story at Papa's house is complete without these two.

The Gentle One
The gentle one. Ashur, the Yellow Labrador, is never far from Scottie Ray's side — in the stories or at home.
The Loyal Shadow
The loyal shadow. Bear, the German Shepherd, follows every adventure a step or two behind, keeping watch over his girl.
In the books they are simply Mommy and Daddy. At home, they are Sydnee and Taylor.

“Mommy” in the Books
In the books, Mommy is Scottie Ray's first reader — every new story has to win her over, and her story times are the best in the house.

“Daddy” in the Books
Daddy brings the games, the races, and the rematches — and somehow Scottie Ray wins them all.
