A Rich Tribute To Both Seasons: Coloring Book

That Is How Things Are: Coloring & Activity Book for Kids



After you finish reading or coloring this lavishly illustrated children’s book, please go outside and explore the sounds, sights, and feelings of the four seasons. It may not be the end of autumn or the beginning of winter, or the first sign of spring or sudden summer heat waves. But if it’s the fall transition, when the sky is gray and the leaves are painted in colors of yellow and red, and all it takes is one gust of the powerful wind to change nature from golden to white, don’t miss this theatrical stage.





That Is How Things Are” features repetition and resonance to introduce basic language concepts. Chanoa’s expressive artwork illuminates the transformation from colorful autumn to a gloomy pre-winter stage. A rich tribute to both seasons: a fall with blazing colors and the darker symbols of coming winter. Be sure to get young explorers outside into the cold to see the departing autumn with its disappearing leaves.


I hope you had fun coloring this book and enjoyed some activities as you set out on adventures with the powerful wind, the courageous yellow leaf, and the curious young kitten. I would be delighted if (with their parents’ permission) young artists and readers would send me their coloring pages and stories so I could see their vision too. You can scan the colored pages and then email them to olga@mrsdbooks.com. I will gladly post them on my blog at Mrs.D.Books. Keep reading and coloring!
