Overview

Sticker by Number: Calming Creatures is a creative and meditative experience. Like an old-fashioned paint by number, the designs in the book can be gradually filled in using the included stickers, transforming the delicate line drawings into stunning, full-color masterpieces. The process is at once artistic and calming—the perfect way to exercise your creativity and create a moment of tranquility in a busy day.

The book features 12 different creatures—from a boldly patterned elephant to a delicate swan—all of which are paired with mindful meditation exercises related to the animal. For instance, as you piece together the Lion design you will be guided to meditate on the self-confidence that inspires bravery, while the Horse illustration will prompt reflection on the theme of freedom and the pursuit of ambition.

With beautiful illustrations and insightful text, Sticker by Number: Calming Creatures will help readers step outside of life’s frantic rush, unlock their creativity, and discover a sense of peace.
