Coloring books for remembering

Color the places you grew up

Casa Color Press makes coloring books for older adults, drawn from the streets, kitchens, markets and festivals of the countries they came from. Every page is a scene you might have lived, ready for color and conversation.

The Recuerdos series

One community per volume, one memory per page

Each book gathers the everyday scenes of a single place or community and its era: the corner store, the plaza on a Sunday, the kitchen at holiday time. Lines are bold and open so hands of every steadiness can fill them, and every page carries a short caption to start a story.

Sample page: a street vendor in a flat cap crouches beside a steaming clay pot, stacked paper cups and a covered basket

Recuerdos de México

Mercados, mariachis, papel picado and the tiendita on the corner. The first volume in the series.

Sample page: a woman raises her hands over two lit Shabbat candles beside a covered challah

Growing Up Jewish

Friday night candles, the corner deli, Hebrew school, a seder table full of cousins and the neighbourhood bakery before the holidays.

More volumes to come

New volumes are added as they are ready. All Casa Color Press books are sold on Amazon.

How we make them

Drawn for memory, checked for accuracy

Scenes people lived

We start from the ordinary places of a childhood, not postcards: the things a person would recognize before they could name them.

Reviewed by people from there

Readers who grew up in each country check the details, from the shape of a bread roll to the words on a shop sign.

Made for older hands

Large format, thick lines, single-sided pages and no tiny details, so coloring stays relaxing rather than fiddly.
