The hectic rhythm of modern life, the many urgent deadlines, and everyday obligations, whether trivial or important ? all bring about a good dose of stress that accumulates day by day and is increasingly difficult to bear. But this marvelously illustrated book provides a sure antidote. In fact, what is better than a beautiful and peaceful landscape to settle the soul and lift the spirit? Page after page, readers will be inspired by the splendid, elegant drawings of nature ? fields in blossom, animals grazing in pastures, tropical plants, and buds with their original shapes ? and colouring them will keep their minds engaged in an entertaining, creative and rewarding activity. Complementing the illustrations are quotes and aphorisms by famous persons that will afford the right inspiration to face the challenges of every day of the year with optimistic spirit and peace of mind.
