Organized into therapeutically-themed chapters, this book examines the benefits of putting pencil to paper and offers adults an opportunity to channel their anxiety into joyful creative accomplishment. Color Me Happy is the perfect way to step back from the chaos of everyday life, color, and feel happy!
