The paperback
Made for markers and late evenings
Every picture sits on its own sheet with a blank back, so a marker that soaks through never ruins the next picture. You can also cut a page out and frame it.
Using alcohol markers? Slip a spare sheet behind the page you are coloring.

Questions
Before you pick up a pen
Who is this book for?
Adults and teens who want a page they can finish in one evening. The shapes are big and the lines are thick, so it also works for anyone who finds detailed books tiring on the eyes or hands.
Will markers bleed through?
Thin paper lets most alcohol markers through, so every picture has its own sheet with a blank back. Bleed never lands on another picture. A spare sheet behind the page keeps your table clean.
How hard are the hidden keys?
Hard. They are small and tucked into the scenery: in a wreath, in a jar of brushes, between cobblestones. The answer key at the back tells you where each one is.
Do I need to read the books in order?
No, every page stands on its own. If you like the story, Book 1 is autumn, Book 2 is winter, and the riddles from Book 1 are answered in Book 2.
A page misprinted. What do I do?
Write to us at hello@kindlycreatures.com and we will make it right. Amazon also replaces damaged copies from your orders page.
