What Makes a Colouring Book a Favourite? | Comfort Books, Nostalgia Creativity | Sunday Sentiments

Hello everyone 🤍 Welcome back to Sunday Sentiments, my cosy little corner where we slow down, pick up our pencils, and talk about the deeper thoughts that often surface while we colour. This week I’m exploring a question that feels simple at first—but the more I thought about it, the more meaningful it became: 📚 What makes a colouring book a favourite? Not necessarily the newest book. Not always the most beautiful. Not even always the one we’ve coloured in the most. But the books we return to. The books that somehow stay close. The books that feel like home. In today’s chat, I explore: ✨ Why certain books become comfort books ✨ How nostalgia shapes the way we see our colouring collections ✨ Why some books seem to fit who we are as colourists ✨ The emotional pull of returning to familiar pages ✨ Why the book we need most is sometimes already sitting on our shelf Along the way, I reflect on some wonderful literary companions, including: 🌿 The Wind in the Willows and the call of home 🌹 The Secret Garden and the memories we grow inside our books 🐰 Alice in Wonderland and the question of identity ⚡ Harry Potter and the comfort of returning 🍯 Winnie-the-Pooh and the quiet joy of familiarity The more I thought about this, the more I realised that favourite colouring books aren’t always about perfection or even completion. Sometimes they become favourites because they’ve travelled with us. Through different seasons. Different moods. Different stages of our creative lives. And perhaps that history matters just as much as the pages themselves. I’d Love to Hear From You Which colouring book feels like home to you? Do you have a book you return to again and again?
