I am looking to finally purchase the Catholic Mosaic by, Cay Gibson. I'm very excited!!! I saw that a coloring book will be available soon.    There is a sample of St. Patrick and I love it! Looking forward to it becoming available. My 5yo loves to color and it's hard to find good coloring pages on-line and I haven't found many Saint coloring books that I like. We seem to buy the same ones over and over.

Thank you, Cay!

The coloring book should be available by May 1. The pictures are complex and at first I thought younger children would have trouble with them. But I have tested them on some families and what has happened is that the older children spent more time making detailed (and accurate) colorings, while the younger ones colored and enjoyed it, but didn't care too much about the lines drawn for them.

So . . . While it won't leave the younger children out, this is a coloring book that older children will really appreciate.

Margot,
Thank you for letting me know when it will be available. My 5yo enjoyed coloring the picture of St. Patrick, but as you said, it will be wonderful for the older child because of the detail.

Oh Wow! This sounds like just the thing for us! Is there a link to the St. Patrick sample?

I feel really silly!    I just noticed that there is a forum for Catholic Mosaic. I'm glad I found it.
