Do you hear the beasts scratching at the door? They’ve been sleeping too long, and now they’re getting feisty. Don’t be afraid, they’re pretty lovely inside. And never did I see a more pretty beast than you. Do you ever wonder how to be wild & free again? There is beauty in being a human, too. With a heart to feel, a mind to learn & hands to build extraordinary things. Go forth, fiercely, bravely. Through a mash-up of poetry, fables, comic fiction and whimsical watercolor illustrations, this beautiful book weaves a narrative of how we can all become wild and free again. Looking at life through the eyes of Sloth, Bear, Koala, and even Blob Fish, these animals tell the stories of the raw beauty of life on our planet, encouraging us to let go of fear, stick our fingers/paws up at societal pressure, and accept our beautifully flawed bodies and minds to empower us to love ourselves and one another with abandon.

Painting is very therapeutic and stress relieving, so this collection of 10 gorgeous designs is something that flower lovers would love! ♥ With this coloring book, you can follow the given colored example of each sketch with its color palette and try to reproduce it or you can let your imagination go wild and make your version. You can use watercolor markers, pencils, or paints. The pages are single-sided to prevent bleed-through, they can be removed and displayed without losing any image on the back. Even the paper of this book is of premium quality, and thick enough, it's better to place a piece of cardboard paper under the page while coloring to prevent any eventual unwanted bleed through and indents. To use this book with watercolor paints in a more sophisticated way than traditional coloring sheets, It's recommended to print the practice pages on a thick, heavy watercolor paper so you can experience many colors and keep practicing as much as you want!
