I received a copy/sample for this review. Opinions expressed are my own.
I really wish I had thought of the idea of adult coloring books first. Grown ups can enjoy coloring as much as the kids but more intricate designs are just more suited to our coloring skill level. It is just a fabulous idea and I LOVE all the books coming out. Wise Words to Color by Zoe Ingram is an adult coloring book filled with inspirational quotes from classic authors. Coloring in these books really is relaxing. I especially enjoy coloring in my coloring books while my daughters color in their own.
Wise Words to Color offers a variety of Instagram-ready quotations and designs to color, guaranteed to inspire any recent graduate. With short words of advice from classic authors including Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman, this book is a keepsake just waiting for your creative touch. Printed on heavy stock with intricate black-and-white interiors and a distinctive uncoated cover with specs, this book is a beautiful gift?or a pick-me-up for yourself!

When I first started coloring in adult books I just used my girl’s colored pencils. I love coloring in them so much I now have my own fancy colored pencils that are just for me! I just can’t get enough of these books. Wise Words to Color is full of flowers, trees, quotes and birds to color. These make great gifts for older teens, college students and full blown adults!
