How it began

For my grandmother.
And perhaps yours.

“I made my first coloring book in Reno, Nevada, for my 85-year-old grandmother. She loves it. I hope you will too.”

Her suggestions helped shape Calm minds: larger coloring spaces, clear outlines, and familiar scenes. A place for a name and date makes each finished page a little keepsake.

That personal beginning is still at the heart of these books. Choose a page, pull up a chair, and color at your own pace.

Something that's only yours

Your memories,
ready to color.

The house you grew up in. A beloved pet. A garden you know by heart. Turn a meaningful photo into a personalized coloring page. From $15 for a printable PDF, including one round of minor changes.
