Synopses & Reviews
Adult coloring book fans will delight in these beautifully drawn and inviting idyllic settings. Created by illustrator and paper-cutting artist Mihoko andldquo;gardenandrdquo; Kurihara, Harmony of Nature presents pastoral vignettes both whimsical and serene: squirrels and birds, field mice and rabbits, deer, butterflies, foxes, and more, all surrounded by halcyon havens of lush florals. Each drawing imparts a welcome sense of calm, and the book also includes eight pages of aspirational full-color art plus two heavy-stock pages that can be cut out and used for framing or gift tags.
