Inspired by nature and crafted with love, Joy in Bloom – The ABC’s of Native Plants is finally here! Created and self-published by Joy Fay of JoyHealthyLife — owner of Free Range Kids, The Chicken School, and Melrose Boot Camp — this beautifully illustrated coloring book highlights native plants while pairing creativity with nature-based education.

Unlike many purely decorative coloring books, Joy in Bloom offers an added layer of learning, making it a meaningful activity for children, adults, educators, gardeners, and nature lovers.

Designed to encourage connection with the outdoors, each page celebrates plant diversity and invites you to slow down, color, and learn.

You can pick up a copy at Paper and Clay Gift Shop. This would make a wonderful holiday gift!
