I WANT IT!!!!!!

We produced a few hundred late 2018 and we need more copies, Kanyon and Scott are managing an Indiegogo Campaign to produce more.

The first coloring book was produced in 2014, making its debut at Indian Canyon’s Annual Storytelling Gathering. From there, Kanyon has shared this work with schools, book stores, Universities, Museums, and this book has traveled Internationally.
