Our 4 custom coloring books are created for these communities:

Why Coloring Books?
-
Cultural & language preservation: Displaced communities are at risk of losing their identify and culture. We “cartoonize” real people from the communities to provide representation and work with linguists to build materials in their native language, even if their language is not written.
-
Inclusive: Not everyone has the chance to go to school. Our materials are cartoon-based and culturally sensitive to reach both literate and illiterate learners in a relatable way.
-
Therapeutic: Coloring is a helpful activity that aids in the trauma-healing process. We also work with educators to create coloring events, competitions, and group activities to encourage peer interaction.
