Beneath the Palms
A Florida Wildlife Coloring Escape
Slow down with Florida's remarkable wildlife. Follow a manatee through spring water, meet a spoonbill in the marsh, and discover the patterns of shells, feathers, leaves and waves.
Thirty decorative coloring scenes take you through five habitats, from freshwater springs to coastal waters and pine country.
Inside: five habitats, six scenes each
The book is a route through Florida, from cool springs to dry pine country. Each chapter opens with a short introduction and a palette idea.

The page, and one way to color it
Drag across the Roseate spoonbill from page 23. On the left, the line art as it prints. On the right, digital color added for this website as one example.
These decorative illustrations celebrate animals found in Florida and its surrounding waters. The patterns are artistic interpretations, not natural identification markings. Habitat groupings are a creative journey; animals may use several habitats.
