It isn’t just a coloring book but a portal to dream about places we wish to explore or revisit.
While the book’s pages are printed on one side only, the quality is commendable, which means I could freely experiment without worrying about bleed-through. The thickness of the paper allows for a range of coloring techniques, enriching the overall experience. This attentiveness to detail is something Goodridge consistently delivers through her work, establishing her as a beloved name in the coloring community.
