Little Joys

Color your own cozy, inspirational world, full of everyday miracles and the sweetness all around us, with simple, charming illustrations by @annalaura_art

Learn to cherish the little moments with artist Anna-Laura Sullivan’s adorable animal drawings—ready to burst to life with color—that focus on all that we have to be grateful for.

Get comfortable, grab your colored pencils and markers, and remind yourself of life’s little joys, including:

the warmth of sunlight on your face
the sound of wind through the trees
the feeling of laughter
the first cup of coffee
the smell when it’s about to rain
seeing a shooting star

Coloring is more than a mindless activity. It’s a way to slow down and reconnect with yourself. When we engage in something as simple as coloring, our nervous system relaxes. Our breath slows. Our busy mind calms. We create space to truly be here and rest.

As Anna-Laura says, let’s get better at noticing together.
