ABOUT
For over 250 years, America has been a beacon of hope, founded on the principles of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Yet, amid the challenges we face—war, economic strife, political discord, and social discontent—it's easy to lose sight of our nation's strength and unity. This coloring book, from the same artists behind Whatever Is Lovely and Choose Joy, invites you to bring your fears and worries to God, who is always faithful and will always be on the throne of heaven.
Each of the forty-five coloring pages includes a quote from a leading American voice, a unique illustration, and brief historical background about the quote or the person who said it. Some of these pivotal voices include George Washington, Harriet Tubman, George W. Bush, Rosa Parks, Teddy Roosevelt, and Fannie Lou Hamer.
As you color your way through American history, reflect on inspirational quotes from voices, Scriptures, and songs that have shaped our country. Trust that the values on which America was founded will guide us into a future where we prioritize loving God and our neighbors. Resist the temptation to despair, and reach for love, healing, and faith in the God of hope and justice. With these goals in mind, arm yourself with some colored pencils, gather friends and family, and celebrate the 250 years of our nation's history in a unique and creative way.
STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS
Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.
In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
