The Zodiac Coloring Book Caren Alcala Dunn

Publisher Marketing: Did you ever wonder what it really means to be a Gemini? And what makes a Leo a Leo? Since the ancient times, the practice of astrology and its twelve Sun signs has helped people to understand the world around them, and to gain awareness of themselves as well. Now The Zodiac Coloring Book offers a simple and illuminating peek into astrology that's a stargazing-good time, too. Readers can learn more about themselves and others simply by picking up a crayon, and bringing each sign to rich, eye-opening life. In twenty-four engaging pages, The Zodiac Coloring Book beautifully personifies each of the twelve Sun signs. Each two-page spread includes a brief description of the featured sign by author Caren Dunn, as well as a delightful illustration by Sydney Zmitrewicz that is full of fascinating symbolism. Playful and inviting, the coloring book will open up a new world for inquisitive readers on the roles that the sun and planets play in determining our signs, and therefore in shaping our personalities. The section on Aries, for example, includes that those under the sign of Aries are born between March 20 and April 19; that Aries lives in the First House; that its element is fire; and that the planet Mars rules the sign. The description then shares Aries' noted characteristics, such as intelligence, spontaneity, and curiosity. Readers will then further engage with their Sun signs by drawing upon their own imaginations to breathe vivid life into the coloring book illustrations. It's a fun, expressive way for readers young and old to get to know the Sun signs, and perhaps embark on a lifelong immersion in the signs, the planets, and the houses. The only astrology coloring book of its kind, The Zodiac Coloring Book can open up the celestial heavens for curious individuals, and a new road to self-discovery as well, one brightly colored crayon at a time.
