About the book
What's inside
Rest is not laziness. Brown Sugar & Bloom is fifty coloring pages of Black women taking their time: stretching in the morning light, a head wrap and a cup of tea, a long soak in the tub, cooking for themselves, painting at an easel, dancing, resting among flowers. The pages are arranged in five chapters, from morning rituals to joy, and fifty-one affirmations run through the book to read before or after you color. It is part of the Brown Sugar Collection, coloring books that center Black women, Black families and Black culture, and it is drawn in our detailed style: fuller scenes and more line work than our bold and easy shelf, still in large print with clear outlines. The book is 8.5 inches square, and no design is ever printed on the back of another.
