nautical-themed frames with inspirational quotes. These beautiful
Black mermaids and mermen don't follow the tide. Instead, they define
themselves, swimming against the stream and creating waves. Reef is
their kingdom, but the world is their oyster.
I received Spread Your Wings and Fly and The Beauty of Black Mermaids. I don't think of these books as review copies but as wonderful gifts! I am nearly 60 years old and live with sometimes severe anxiety as well as multiple health issues. I think that coloring is a fun and relaxing activity for people of all ages and I am looking forward to making these new gifts my own.
The images are appropriate for all ages. Teens, adults, and older kids will enjoy coloring the intricate details for beautiful contrast and shading. I have a set of colored pencils but I'm thinking it might be fun to buy a set of sparkly pens or maybe even the big 64 crayon set--the one with the sharpener built into the box-- and let myself be young again for an hour or two.
I absolutely recommend these beautiful coloring books to anybody of any age who enjoys art projects for therapeutic reasons or just having fun. The Fantasy in Black series earns five out of five stars.
