Paris Coloring Book
by Min Heo
The first in our new city series of children’s titles celebrates everyone’s favorite city in the world: Paris, the city of lights. The hardcover story book, memory game, and coloring book are all illustrated in a hand-drawn, colorful, graphic, and vintage style by California-based illustrator Min Heo. All three titles highlight well-loved landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame, Sacré-Coeur, the Luxembourg Garden, the Louvre, and more. They also celebrate important cultural aspects of Paris such as art, architecture, fashion, ballet, and epicurean delights. This new series is both educational and visually appealing to little kids and design-savvy adults. All three titles together make a perfect gift for would-be travelers of all ages.

Alexander Girard Coloring Book
by Gloria Fowler
This is a beautiful new coloring book that features this 20th century design icon’s elegant and simple illustrations translated into black and white.

As a reference, the back cover shows every one of the 32 images featured in their full-color original versions. Each drawing is printed on white paper on one side to help keep markers from bleeding through to another image. Each page is also perforated at the top for easy removal to place your young artist’s artwork on the wall or refrigerator!
