Original Review from October 2015:

“The Time Chamber” is the second in a series of coloring books by Daria Song. In the first book (“The Time Garden”), a young girl follows a red-haired fairy through a magical clock into a wonderland type adventure. In this book, the red-haired fairy comes to visit the little girl’s land. As she is so very tiny, everything is huge and beautiful for her to visit and see. The story is told in a few short words on a smattering of pages throughout the book. The words do not distract from the illustrations even though they are incorporated into the story this time (unlike the first book where the story was on separate pages.)

Daria Song, the artist/writer of this book, has received advanced degrees in fine arts in her native South Korea. Early in her life, she also spent time in San Francisco and that translates into the art in this book. Both of her books are a real delight to me. Her illustrations create a truly magical land for me to escape into as color each page.
