'Fruits & Flowers. A Coloring Book' is an unusual coloring book conceived to be used by adults (in particular senior citizens) and children.

At the bottom of each illustrated page there is the English name and the Latin name of the fruit or flower portrayed. In addition, every illustration presents a rich web of lines and diverse shapes that stimulates creativity and invites to a relaxing practice of coloring the book. This publication offers a high-quality edition, which counts with glossy semi-hard covers, 13 illustrations, and the format 8.5 x 11 inches that aims at enjoying a better experience.
