About this title

Synopsis

An animal coloring book for kids unlike any other, born from the joyful watercolor art of Rita Winkler, an artist born with Down syndrome.

Rita paints with bold colors and an open heart, and her art is a pure reflection of how she experiences life: joyful, free, and untouched by the rigid boxes of society. Through her drawings, we get a rare chance to see the world as she sees it, colorful, expressive, and filled with possibility.

Inspired by Rita’s original artwork, these bold-line illustrations were carefully created to invite children to color without pressure or rules. Every page encourages self-expression, imagination, and the simple joy of creating. It’s more than an animal coloring book; it’s a reminder that art can break boundaries and inspire us all to look at life differently.

Why families love this book:

• Inspired by Rita Winkler’s vivid, at times wacky, art, filled with heart and humor
• Bold lines and playful designs make coloring accessible and fun
• Encourages creativity, imagination, and confidence, celebrating diversity and inclusion
• A meaningful kids' activity book for home, school, or as a thoughtful gift
• At the end, kids revisit the same pages they colored, this time in Rita’s own vivid, vibrant style, showing that there’s no “right” way to color, only your way
