Beautiful Days Coloring Book Review
Take a peak inside the newly released coloring book Beautiful Days by Ancient Faith Publishing showcasing “every day Orthodox living” which includes common scenes they might see in your home or in your community. “Beautiful Days” available from Ancient Faith Publishing? My kids have been so into it this week!
Unlike the previous coloring books in this series which are specific to liturgical seasons, this coloring book is perfect year round. One feature I especially love is the pages are thick and perforated which makes for a clean tear when the time comes to remove their masterpiece! The illustrations are simple and yet familiar to your average Orthodox kids. The artist behind the drawings @abigail.holt.art did an amazing job cultivating a collection of every day scenes. My girls especially loved the icons that they recognized from our home! My oldest tells me all the time that she wants to be an iconographer when she grows up. So she especially loves the icon drawings of familiar saints!

Be sure to check it out, and stock up on the other coloring books in their series (which we also love) available in a bundle through Ancient Faith Publishing!
This coloring book is perfect for a beautiful day of coloring, or throw it in your church bag for a quiet activity for busy hands. We always have either a drawing pad or coloring book on hand in our church bag, and this week especially my girls have been reaching for their new coloring books first! Just be sure to keep a small stock of colored pencils or crayons in a “non-noisy” pencil holder in your bag as well!

This blogpost was a collaboration with Ancient Faith Publishing. I shared my honest review above in exchange for free coloring books (shown above). As with everything I share on my platforms, I only work with publishers I love and endorse, I and carefully select which items to review. As a busy mom, and consumer of Orthodox materials myself, so I know how important it is to have good quality materials/resources available for my family. I hope you enjoy this coloring book as much as do! It would make for a great birthday or name day gift for any child!

Have you noticed an influx of families in your Orthodox parishes? Our parish is fortunate to be bursting at the seams with young families. As a priest wife, and mother of 4 myself, it is my hope that these families feel especially welcomed. The Church is for all people, and especially for our children. Christ himself gave us the command, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 19:14. But how can we be welcoming and help accomodate families with small children?
