Recuerdos de México
Mercados, mariachis, papel picado and the tiendita on the corner. The first volume in the series.
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.
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.
Mercados, mariachis, papel picado and the tiendita on the corner. The first volume in the series.
Friday night candles, the corner deli, Hebrew school, a seder table full of cousins and the neighbourhood bakery before the holidays.
New volumes are added as they are ready. All Casa Color Press books are sold on Amazon.
We start from the ordinary places of a childhood, not postcards: the things a person would recognize before they could name them.
Readers who grew up in each country check the details, from the shape of a bread roll to the words on a shop sign.
Large format, thick lines, single-sided pages and no tiny details, so coloring stays relaxing rather than fiddly.
