An art activity book celebrating the kaleidoscope of color found in nature, designed to bring a little bit of calm into your day. Combining creativity and calming repetition, this is a beautiful art activity book to help you feel grounded, relaxed, and inspired by nature. From the vibrant green feathers of the ring-necked parakeet and the fiery reds and pinks of a sunset to the bold orange of the clownfish, this book is bursting with plant and animal life that's just begging for some color to be added or extra detail to be doodled. Designed to inspire mindfulness and spark creativity, this book offers a relaxing blend of coloring and doodling ―perfect for those who love to draw and color in, unwind, or simply notice the small, beautiful details in nature. Calming activities include: • Adding beautiful pink feathers to a flock of flamingos • Doodling green bugs on to a leafy woodland scene • Giving fly agaric fungi their distinctive bright red caps • Doodling some Christmas Island red crabs on their annual migration path Emily Rand studied illustration at Camberwell College of Arts and the London College of Communication. After graduating she worked with children and young people teaching art and running creative workshops in schools, galleries, and museums. Inspired by the beautiful and unusual books in the children's bookshop Chantelivre in Paris, Emily was inspired to start creating picture books in her free time.  In 2012 she entered her illustrations to the illustrator's exhibition at Bologna Children's Book Fair, her work was selected and nominated for the prestigious Bologna Illustrator's Award. The selected illustrations became her first picture book, A Dog Day , published in 2014 by Tate Publishing. Since then, she has written and illustrated six books published by Tate Publishing, Thames & Hudson, and Flying Eye, her books have been translated into many languages and sold all over the world (including in the Chantelivre bookshop in Paris!).  Emily lives in east London and works from a studio nearby in an old carpentry factory.
