Coloring is not just for kids. A Christmas Mandala Coloring Book is based on the poem Twas a night before Christmas. Christmas is a time for family, festivities and fun but sometimes this leads to a lot of stress. (It does in my house!) One of the recently discovered way to distress is to color mandalas. I was inspired to create this book by the great Christmas poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas." The book contains two versions of the same image, one with a verse from the poem and one without. That way you can color each image two different ways so if you don't like it the first way you have colored it, try doing it a different way. Please remember, this is not a school project and you wont receive a gold star. How you decide to color the image is the right way because there is NO wrong way to color it.

The book was published in 1995 by Atheneum Books for Young Children, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, and was honored as an American Bookseller Pick of the Lists and a Trumpet Book Club Selection. It is still available, in a new edition from Skyhook Press with bonus cookie recipe and pattern. ABOUT THE ARTIST Wendy Edelson has applied her award-winning skills to a wide range of illustration projects, including picture books, pet portraits, posters, and puzzles.

More recent projects have included producing coloring pages for Etsy and illustrating Quackling, another retelling of Aaron's. The pictures in this coloring book were converted to grayscale by Skyhook Press from Wendy's original watercolor illustrations. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Aaron Shepard is the award-winning author of many children's books from publishers large and small. Once a professional storyteller, Aaron specializes in lively retellings of folktales and other traditional literature, which have won him honors from the American Library Association, the New York Public Library, the Bank Street College of Education, the National Council for the Social Studies, and the American Folklore Society. After first hearing the legend of the baker's dozen from storyteller Sheila Dailey, Aaron retold the story himself with the help of texts dating as far back as 1896.
