GENERAL COLORING BOOKS
https://a.co/d/hnWU6Lv Heart Mandalas: Coloring & Affirmations. This beautiful coloring and affirmations book from Planet Heart was made with children in mind to help them feel grateful and confident in their place in the world. Each page spread has a beautiful brief mantra on the left, with a frame made exclusively of hearts around it, and a matching mandala on the right. Both the frame and the mandala can be colored-in. Encouraging statements like "I am strong," "I am kind to my body," and "I make healthy choices," help to reinforce positive feelings in an easy to understand language. Some of the mantras were also written in the second person, so that they can be colored and gifted. The author is dedicated to reinforcing positive values to help prevent bullying and to let children feel that they are perfect just the way they are, "right here and right now." This is why artist and inventor Tali Lehavi created Planet Heart.
https://a.co/d/aH2zX9y. I am Love/ Coloring Heart Mandalas & Yogi Mantras. This enchanting adult coloring book (which children can enjoy too) presents 50 empowering mantras framed by exquisite designs made exclusively from hearts, as well as 50 matching mandalas on the facing spread. Artist and inventor of the heart hand gesture Tali Lehavi combines her trademark art style with brief inspirations to remind you to breathe, listen inwardly, and practice what she calls “Hemispheric Harmony™” for self-empowerment. The prime audience for this book will like that they can color mandalas that are doable in one or two sittings. The brief mantras, mostly in the form of “I am….” will resonate to anyone who loves yoga. There is a mantra for every need. Lehavi explains that you can repeat a mantra with each stroke and each heart that you color, much like the yogi breath.
https://amzn.to/41t04fV. You Draw With Me, I Draw With You! This is a coloring book on the right side of the page spread, and it offers the word for heart in a different language on the left side. Each new design tends to come in 2-3 versions that are progressively more challenging, hence the name of the book. It can be a good fit if someone wants to share the book, or simply to have options or practice on the level of complexity.
https://amzn.to/4arvhTE Bite-Size Mandalas. This elegant coloring book has designs that are purposely simpler. They are meant to help you clear your mind and relax. The left side of the page spread guides people to discover how their mind works best with steps toward Hemispheric Harmony.(™) The goal is for you to listen to your internal dialogue and learn about yourself. All the fonts are larger so they are easier to read.
https://amzn.to/3WvXhRb Jewish and Proud. Surround yourself with inspiring qualities and achievements of those who are Jewish. This is a gorgeous coloring book with mandalas on one side of the page and reasons we can be proud to be Jewish on the left side of each page. No home should be without this book. It’s a very inclusive book, appropriate for Jewish children of any denomination or secular.
https://amzn.to/47Wr7ls Mindful Mandalas /Coloring + Confessions + Inspiration. This coloring book includes inspirations drawn from the artist’s personal experiences and sometimes from the design itself. It is here for you though, to help you be at your optimum best! Lehavi also introduces Hemispheric Harmony and teaches people to find balance between their creative and anal sides!
Optical Illusions Series:
https://amzn.to/3SwURkz. Optical Illusions 1. This is a coloring book on one side of the page, with brief inspirational messages on the left. It’s very positive and empowering! An all level book for sure!
https://amzn.to/3UcyNgn. Optical Illusions 2. This is another coloring book with optical illusions. They are slightly more detailed than level 1, but not by much. The end of the level 1 book hints at the level of this book, and the end of this book prepares you for the level 3. The entire series was made knowing some houses has multiple children of different age levels. However, it is also very appropriate for teens and adults, especially given that the messages are yogi-style wisdom.
https://amzn.to/3HwEP3X. Optical Illusions 3. This third level book is definitely more detailed. The hearts get smaller. Sometimes you really cannot tell the designs were made of hearts, but they were! The end of this book foreshadows level 4… where the designs get even trippier! All the messages are still empowering and focused on making you feel confident and happy in your own body and mind.
https://amzn.to/3OHnLMH. Optical Illusions 4. This gorgeous book has the most elaborate designs that can fit on this size of a page and still have spaces to color. The designs are on one side of the page, with the inspirational messages on the opposite side. Think of MC Escher, but all 100% hearts. The designs would do really well on t-shirts!
https://amzn.to/41voIfZ Heart Mandalas(™). The giant coloring book published in 2010, before any coloring books of this genre existed. :) it’s got about 180 images, with designs on both sides of the page. It's full of heartastic designs. All the original heart mandalas!
https://amzn.to/41voVjh. Heartflakes and Heartcicles
This is another great coloring book original from 2011. All the designs are in the shape of snowflakes called Heartcicles! They are also all made exclusively of hearts. It’s a super gorgeous book and one of the top sellers. People even bought this to then resell! The hearts are easily identifiable which many people find soothing. It’s lovely. The designs lend themselves to licensing and Lehavi is looking for licensing partners!
ACTIVITY BOOKS:
https://a.co/d/g8TaLRq. Find the Missing Heart. A coloring book with one tiny job to do first. Every image has one heart missing to draw in! Then you may color. This is a very easy level book appropriate for all ages—for the very young to the very adult.
https://amzn.to/3vStBUI Continue the Heart Pattern. This is an activity book and coloring book. You need to observe the pattern and then you can draw in the pattern to continue it either going out or in. This requires more thought and confidence to draw your own hearts. It might be a better fit for people who already don’t criticize their drawing skills. You don’t have to be good at it. You just have to not care so much to make things perfect to enjoy it!
https://amzn.to/48PyiNK. Heart Analogies. The Heart Analogies book is a 1 min activity per page, with the answer on the back. You are required to analyze the relationship between two images, and then apply that relationship to the next image. The entire book is all analogies, but the relationships vary! I would gift this as a vacation activity book for a child. You can also color when done.
CONNECT THE DOTS Series
https://amzn.to/3Gn91xD. Connect the Dots level 1. The first level of connecting the dots— Each design is partially dotted and partially normal—lined mandala, so it’s easier to spot the pattern to connect. Some of the dots are little broken lines as well, to make it easier. It has unique positive messages on the left page.
. https://amzn.to/3T3Ct3d. Connect the Dots Level 2. Even though it's the second level it's actually still a beginner level in the sense that the designs are simpler, with large hearts and not too many per page. Unlike book 1, all the designs are dotted! The left side of each page spread has positive messages.
https://amzn.to/3GkIlgW Connect The Dots Level 2 bonus. The pink book is slightly more challenging and doesn’t have separate positive messages on the left. At the time that I did it, I felt like it would be the bonus material for some reason, for people who don’t need the messages. After I published it, it started to look like I ought to have named it level 3, but it is too late to change the name of the book! Anyway, some people do not want to have any words on the left side of the page spread, so this one is for them!
https://amzn.to/3uBh1sv Connect the Dots Level 3. This is the next level— it’s more advanced with images that have more hearts and smaller hearts and all are dotted. The left side of the page spread has a positive message on the bottom and space to journal or doodle in the middle. You can jot your thoughts down like a journal, test markers, or doodle your own mandalas!
https://amzn.to/46CKb7P Connect the Dots Level 4. This is the most advanced level in terms of number of hearts and smaller details. Once again, the right side of the page spread has dotted mandalas, and the left side of the page spread has special positive messages that are great for anyone to hear.
https://amzn.to/3SwVnz0 Heart Mandalas Brain Teasers. The original Heart Mandala activity book! Published in 2010, this book is full of combinations of activities. You’d be amazed by all the variety of questions one can ask. Designs are on both sides of the page. It’s a chunky book filled with love.
https://amzn.to/47WuN6K. Heart Mandala Brain Teasers: In Color. This unique activity book is in color! All the radial challenges have to do with the shading pattern! So being able to see color does matter in this book, and it is not a coloring book. It’s all brain teasers!
https://amzn.to/3vSujkQ Power of Infinite Goodness Activity Book. For the Planet Heart fan club, this is the first coloring book dedicated to the Power of Infinite Goodness that powers all the Heartlings and other items on Planet Heart! It’s both a coloring and activity book.
https://a.co/d/aKVBeEu. Heart Mandala Game Book 1. A beautifully illustrated black and white book shows off Mandala patterns that a child can make or color in using one simple design-a heart. The Heart Mandalas are the visual motif from Planet Heart(TM,) a world in which "all the birds and fish swim in heart formations" such as these mandalas. The book comes with coupons to buy game pieces that will allow the child to build and animate their own Heart Mandalas. These mandalas, along with other books by the author, celebrate the synergy between art and math. This makes a great gift.
https://a.co/d/hTW3SSu
https://amzn.to/3uk6rpI. Heart Mandala & Planet Heart Game Book 3. All the designs in this book are made only of hearts in specific proportions to one another: 1 : 2/3 : 1/3 : 1/6 . This is also fantastic for the classroom!
https://amzn.to/4baIFx9. Heart Mandala & Planet Heart Game Book 4. Like the book above, but the proportions of one heart to the next are 2/3rds. These are all so great for teaching math! This was the second best selling book next to the giant pink book. Even though it was one of my earliest books, people still choose it over some of the new books because the designs are simple and clear. Each page has an adorable simple design made of a few hearts. They are very easy to build with the included hearts that you can cut out from the back of the book, or if you buy the wooden hearts that I used to sell together. Each wooden heart was laser cut to match exactly the hearts in the book.
https://amzn.to/3SaivBY The First Craft Book in Which All the Designs Connect to Make a Heart Between Them. Another totally unique book. All the images are meant to be colored and then cut out so that they may connect via the HeartBites!(™). Lehavi is the inventor of the heart hand gesture. After many years of designing images with arm extensions, she finally realized she could take “bites” out of the designs. This was all still covered by her patent. Every image here is Lehavi’s trademark for other classes of products and she is looking for partners on this matter.
https://amzn.to/3vTyCMV The Magic Heartoscope(TM). Lehavi’s first published storybook, in its first edition. The images are very basic. This book will get redone visually some day! For now, it's a collector's piece. It's a beautiful story though.
