A second way to win: My publisher is sponsoring a book giveaway, too, and it’s even better—in addition to the coloring book, they’re throwing in $50 worth of art supplies! (It’s perfectly OK to enter both, but do so soon; theirs ends June 10.)

Coloring a detailed line drawing is a way of engaging your right brain so your left brain is free to solve problems. Mandalas are especially soothing, and Sensational Succulents has ten.

mike okumura June 8, 2016, 11:38 pm

hi, yes, thx for allowing us evry week to learn about your wonderful ideas on gardening all sorts off stuffs. the picts are breathtakingly beautiful. 1 may, literally spend hrs. and hrs. spending time reading, looking, and ingesting all your knowledge that’s imparted to us every week, and reviewing all the previous 1’s. i would’ve enjoyed poring over the great material even if i didn’t have an accident, truly. now, i’m limited to living my life either on my wheelchair[ i tend to get bedsores so not much time there], or on my hospital bed. over 6 yrs. ago, i had a farm mishap and now need 24/.7 care to be able to live. i have 8 caregivers rotate the times to care for me. since i’m poor, i can’t pay even $1/hr., so my pals care for me free. i barely can move and can’t write, but i could color a book, barely. but i’m persistent, very patient, and loving, so i’d really enjoy it. thx. aloha, unckle mike

Teresa willis June 9, 2016, 10:36 am

I would love to frame these pages and have an entire collage of them in my home and garden – perhaps signed by you as well – that would be a real treat!

Kirsten Schulz June 11, 2016, 10:06 pm

I love the idea of a succulent coloring book. I would love to win one! I am always coloring in my adult coloring books and this would make a nice addition to them!
