This is my first coloring book by this artist. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I ordered it. It has an inspirational story about a young girl along with designs about her as she follows her dream journey.

The girl travels through many lands – each one more fantastic than the last. She doesn’t have features on her face, which makes for an interesting coloring conundrum. Do you leave her featureless so she can be anyone one or do you (if you have the skill) provide her with features. This was an easy decision for me as I am lacking the skill – so she is anyone and everyone in my book.

The designs are detailed and have full backgrounds. Something that I liked was that one the few two-page spreads, the artist divided the image into two and place it so that no other design was behind it. You don’t lose anything in the binding area.

The words of the story are printed on the back of each design page, so certain medium will leak through and will mar the words. It’s not important to me, but I wanted to let you know what to expect.
