Each of these patterned EYE coloring pages represents a memory, feeling, story, or reflection within a single eye. The eyes are often seen as windows to our innermost psyche. They let in light rays that creates the shapes and colors that we see all around us, and at the same time their color and glossy nature often creates beautiful reflections. How you interpret the feelings that the images in these eyes conjure up will drive how you choose to color (or colour) them. Let your intuitive, creative energy flow through your hands as you color these eyes. Some of these eyes are more complex with more nooks to fill, others less. The first few pages shows a thumbnail sized image of the illustrations you will be able to color throughout the book. (32 different eyes to color in total). After the thumbnails are the 32 eyes, full page, single sided. Rotate the book to view these landscape, which allows them to fit nicely on an 8.5 x 11 page. As a bonus, after the 32 full sized coloring pages, each of the images have been shrunken to half page images, two eyes to a single sided page. These smaller versions can be cut out, framed, or fold the page in half to carry two with you. Use your fine tipped pencils or media for these as the nooks will be smaller.

The Divine is a multicultural 100-page coloring book for people of all ages (especially the child in all of us) inspired by folklore and spirituality from the Philippines (Diwatas), Haiti (Lwas of Vodou) and Brazil (Orixás of Candomble and deities of the Indigenous Brazilian Tupi Tribe). Thirteen divinities from each culture are represented, along with the folklore and symbolism associated with each of the divinities. Included throughout the book are inspirational quotes, mindfulness activities for children, and poetry featuring Eniafe Isis of All Her Words, Aimee Amparo, and Haitian songs by Daniel "Brav" Brevil. 40 full-page, 8.5x11 illustrations. Artists include: Andre Hora, Gabrielle Tesfaye, Fermina Caragay Armstrong, Salima Silagon Saway, Grace Bio, Rahana Dariah, Zachary "Bodinho" Present, Stephen Hamilton, Cece Carpio, Nikila Badua/MamaWisdom1, Wisthon Thime, Dee Jae Pa'este, Ubi Maya, Mitzi Ulloa, Rodney Sanon and Laylie Frazier. While many of us grew up with mythologies about Greek and Roman gods, as well as stories like Cinderella, Little Mermaid and Robin Hood, few of us have been exposed to the stories included in The Divine--stories that have been passed down from generation to generation through traditional dance, music, and oral storytelling. The Divine draws a connection between the cultures and beliefs of these diasporas, in hopes of giving them the attention they deserve. From the Americas to Africa to the islands, let's continue to carry and pass down the wisdom that lies in these stories. This book is something meant to grow with and meet the reader where they are. Read and color for yourself, or do it with a little one. Mindfulness activities are meant for children and adults to do together. The poetry, quotes and songs are meant for older youth and adults. And the folklore/symbolism is meant for older youth and grown-ups to read with little ones. Every people, every culture has its own way of honoring the sacred and the spiritual. When we apply the wisdom of these stories to our everyday lives, we discover a deeper relationship to the world around us. Before our lives began, before we believed, the Divine has been both within us and outside of us.
