The author has had a long and successful career along with being the mother of three children. During her corporate career, she has parallelly kept her interest in creative arts alive, through different art forms. She now wishes to give back to children some of the joy that her own kids experienced during their formative years. Their own personas and creativity were shaped and enhanced through an early introduction to colouring books and children's story book. Each of her children have developed an individual creative art style and this encourages the author to bring forward her own creative abilities. This book is meant primarily for children to experiment with colour and to develop their own unique style, giving expression to their creativity. That does not, however, stop adults from enjoying a cozy time, too.
