"Islands, A Coloring Book for Adults, Volume 2, 30 Hand-Drawn Drawings, 30 Poems" by Shelley Gilbert is third in the series of "Islands" books. These crossover coloring and poem books are enjoyed by adults and kids, females and males of all cultures. The Islands books are entertaining and supercreative. People love Islands?s diversity, wit and messages. The 30 original drawings and 30 interpretive poems are thought-provoking, stimulating and fun. The abstract drawings engage a person?s own imagination so the colorer can call upon her or his own thoughts and feelings. Islands feeds the spirit and takes you on a fantasy adventure. Why is this book called Islands? Islands is about being an individual, about being yourself. When you are yourself, you are unique and apart from all other people, like an island in the sea is unique and apart from all other islands. In these abstract drawings, each shape is individual, unique and apart from all the other shapes. The shapes seem to float on the page, like islands floating in the sea. Each drawing then connects all the islands together to make a whole picture. In addition, each abstract drawing has a poem that interprets the design or the feeling of the drawing. Islands drawings and poems have a great variety of themes with the hope that they connect with people all over the globe. Some of the themes in this book are: rivers, elephants, love, being real, bon bons, light force, bugs, bears, Mandalas, repetition, clams, the number 3, clear minds, ghosts, pancakes, ocean, cobblestones, eyes, energy, etc.
