Why am I passionate about this?
I love suggesting these topics of coloring books because my clinical work involves using art, coloring, and creativity in a therapeutic setting. I am an art therapist working with children in a hospital setting and am trained in applying the arts to build coping skills for managing difficult emotions. As a Christian author, I like to integrate both scripture and art to allow big concepts to become more comprehendible for the younger reader. Growing up, I've always been a visual learner! Art accesses parts of the brain that reading cannot. So, I hope these recommendations and my book can be just the start of discovering the benefits of art.
Janae's book list on coloring books from a faith-based art therapist
Why did Janae love this book?
This is a fantastic coloring book for kids as the illustrations are large and detailed displaying familiar age-appropriate objects, florals, animals, and nature. Each illustration has a repetitive pattern to it allowing the reader to feel more relaxed as they color. The pages are thick and can keep a child busy for hours. I'd suggest this coloring book if you're looking for something that can help your child explore their artistic side! As an art therapist, I think this book can guide your child (and you!) to practice new strategies for mindfulness. How does the coloring make them feel? This book is a high-quality coloring book that can be a relaxing activity for finding centeredness and to achieve emotional regulation. It's a perfect tool for relieving anxiety and unneeded stress!
