Miss Grace and I had lots of fun coloring this page with the great PrismaColors pencils and pens, and you can see how much detail are in the prints!

And now for a book that relaxes and inspires:

animal wonders cover

Delicately detailed and absorbingly inspiring, this creative coloring book is packed with wonders to reveal on every page. Find hidden animals and tiny insects in a huge variety of habitats, and learn all about the amazing animal kingdom along the way.

There are pages that are animal prints, leaves or feathers, that allow you to create your own crazy pattern, and then there are pages like the ones shown above. As you can see, each page has a short inspirational phrase, like "Jump for Joy", "Be Yourself", or "Never Change Your Colors". 

The book is perfect for pre-teens and teens, who need reminders that they are special, unique and one-of-a kind! The pictures are detailed enough to not be 'childish', yet simple enough that they can be completed in a short sitting. It's the perfect book to give with a set of pencils and pens for a Summer birthday present, as a 'welcome to Junior High/High School" gift, or to help kids with other transitions. Miss Grace gives it a huge thumbs up!

Whether you're new to art relaxation home therapy, or have been coloring for years, these books will help you find your inner calm and creativity--one page at a time!
