In this biography coloring book, twelve ready-to-color portraits sit across from short profiles of enthusiasts and professionals in the birding community, including conservationists, biologists, activists, and an artist. Color the grayscale pages that follow each bio. The same images are presented in full color, so feel free to use the completed color versions as references or use your own color palettes to create your renditions.

This is a coloring book like you’ve never experienced. Not only will you engage in hours of coloring fun, but you’ll also learn about the subjects presented here. Among the birders you’ll meet are several organizers of the inaugural #BlackBirdersWeek that was launched in response to racist events that unfolded in 2020.

Instead of the usual black line art you’ve seen in other coloring books, 12 Modern Black Birders features detailed grayscale images in a refined style that brings the subjects to life. Adding your touch of color will lift the art to even greater levels.

Prepare to be stimulated!
