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!

That Is How Things Are - A New Release from Mrs.D.

PUBLISHED!

That Is How Things Are  (two connected stories, "The Autumn Wind" and "The Kitten and the Sparrow" ) 

 Illustrated  by Chanoa 

"The Autumn Wind" - A moving story about the powerful wind and the peaceful garden, and how things change quickly when the autumn wind unleashes his power. 

Sketches of the characters

 "Whoooshhhhhh ... whooshhhhhh!" growled the wind from the sky, twirling like a white ghost with his long, silver hair.

Without asking him, the hasty Autumn had repainted the summer garden into one with many shades of golden orange.

Rustling in fear, the trees moved like a restless ocean, waving in the wind growing with their heavy branches

Frightened, the leaves trembled in the wind and clung to the branches. 

Just blooming yesterday, the autumn flowers which began shriveling up today, pressed to the ground by the powerful wind.

 "Cuuurlik ... cuuurrrrlikkk ..." cried the departing birds, shedding light their feathers in front of the foggy window. 

In no time, the golden autumn disappeared from the garden...

"The Kitten and the Sparrow " - A heartwarming story about friendship between a kitten and a sparrow, and how the little kitten learns about the power of nature.

Sketches of the characters

"What is winter?" asked the puzzled kitten, looking around the garden.

"You are a silly goose. The winter arrives just by itself. It appears after every autumn." The small sparrow laughed. 

The squirrel, feeling the ice-cold breeze blowing, grabbed the last acorns, which rolled under a yellow leaf. 

Autumn has left. Winter will be here soon ...
