Our colouring books evolved through hours of sitting and drawing with my daughters when they were small. They gave me instructions as to what I must draw and each time I promptly obeyed. Dresses were the most popular items demanded of me and Sophie would then do the faces, arms and legs. We drew all different kinds of people. The book ended up as a collection of dresses, some eccentric, some with a vague narrative but all of them lacked the head and limbs required to give them the character. In designing the books, I have paid attention to all things which irritated me as a child. The paper quality is thick enough to avoid showing through or damaging the picture on the next page. It is sturdy enough to withstand a few journeys without falling apart and small enough to fit in a child’s hand luggage. The lines are intentionally not too thick, as this makes it look like it is only for preschool children. The age range is between around 4 to 10 although quite a few teenagers and a 34 year old man entered the colouring competition held at Daunt Books.
