Papa Scott & Scottie Ray

Picture books that teach big lessons in small moments — one story, one value, one verse at a time.

About the Author

Dr. Scott Donaldson — “Papa Scott” — is a business professor at Crowder College in Missouri, where he also serves as Faculty Association President. But his favorite classroom has always been a lap, a couch, or the shade of a good tree, with his granddaughter nearby.

Scott writes the Papa Scott & Scottie Ray books for his granddaughter Scottie Ray — the little girl with the big bow you'll meet on every page — because the best lessons he knows were learned in small, ordinary moments: sharing a strawberry, giving a cookie, taking turns. The Adventures series turns everyday outings into first discoveries; the Values series pairs one small moment with one Bible verse worth remembering.

When he isn't teaching or writing, you'll find him serving his family and his church in the corner of Kansas he calls home.
