Creativity has never looked so squiggly

Let’s be honest: the standard coloring book has finally run its course. And unlike when cartridge-based video game consoles faded out, we’re not that bothered. After all, what is actually gained by having your child properly color in a picture of Yoda? And what if he colors him red or orange?! Then you have to get the police involved and everything. Things could get very ugly. But don’t worry, there IS a solution!

From acclaimed children’s author and illustrator Taro Gomi (Everyone Poops, Scribbles and Doodles) comes Squiggles, the one drawing book sure to spark creativity within users of all ages. With over 200 pages of illustrations, the reader is encouraged to fill in the preexisting drawings with whatever their minds can conjure up. The different sections, including T-shirt designs, facial expressions and many more, are specially meant to prompt artistic imagination whilst also sharpening one’s technical skills. Use Taro’s helpful instructions along the way or feel free to assert your own ideas into each picture (that’s kinda the objective in the end). And no, staying inside the lines is NOT a requirement!
