These coloring books were hand printed and sewn into the shape of a quarter circle, made to the size of a standard jean pocket. Made for portability, the East Bay Wildlife Guide features all the local animals native to my hometown. Growing up with my own fears of the outdoors and its animals, I noticed a similar apprehension with the kids I worked with in my hometown.
Combining their love of drawing and coloring, an activity I do often with the kids I watch after, while acquainting them with local animals in order to familiarize them with the wildlife living alongside them. My objective with this coloring book is to not only provide a fun activity, but to minimize the divide we assume between us and our local and present wildlife. january 2021
