Description

In this groundbreaking coloring book you'll meet boys who bake and hug; girls who build drum sets and fix stuff; children who are tender, intense, vulnerable, courageous, zany, and gentle. This coloring book is for them and everyone who has ever wanted to draw outside the lines, a reminder that we never need to compromise ourselves to fit someone else's idea of who we ought to be.
