The first coloring book by Hanasakitaru, an illustrator known for drawing emotions and stories. Together with twin siblings, a boy and a girl, you visit the animals living in the forest and follow their stories through the four seasons.
A bear father, cats, dogs, rabbits, squirrels and many other characters appear. The book follows a year of their lives, from everyday moments such as gathering nuts and tea parties to events such as Halloween and Christmas. The delicate, deep line drawings give you plenty to color.
The front of the book has a short lesson on gradation, choosing colors and light and shadow, and 9 color examples by the artist. It is a large 25 x 25 cm format with a binding that opens flat.
