Author, artist, transpersonal psychotherapist and business person all describe what Monique Mandali is, but do not tell you who she is. I've been privileged to meet Monique and I know that she is a seeker traveling her path. Her walking stick is her love for all, especially children. Ms. Mandali offers a series of four coloring books for children and adults. There are three different delights in the original Everyone's Mandala Coloring Book series, each consisting of 22 designs. While the original three books in the series contain designs by the author, the latest (and perhaps greatest) has 25 peace mandalas from children all around the world. The Peace Mandala Coloring Book is very special because the mandalas are designed by children unencumbered by the pressure of adult living. Further, they bring a variety of spiritual as well as geographical cultures to bear. Monique Mandali has given us something special. Not only do we find drawings to color that can aid in health and serenity...Everyone's Mandala Coloring Book Series is additionally special because they represent the best part of Monique Mandali, her love!

We had a great Halloween party last year with the last Mandala coloring book. There's nothing like seeing werewolves, princesses and tofu (two of my friends wearing large white boxes) sitting around a table and coloring beautiful designs. It really helped to get people to meet each other in a mellow way. When we heard this book was out, it was a must for the fall birthdays coming up with our nieces and nephews, as well as for this year's Halloween party. The children are really creative. It's especially interesting to see the designs from the Nepalese children. They're very intricate.

The Peace Mandala Coloring Book is my favorite of the mandala coloring books by Monique Mandali. The mandalas are fun and the kids captured the "peace" message better than any of us adults could ever do! I'm buying it as a gift for a nine year old and for my 84-year old Mother.
