ABOUT THE DIVINE
The Divine is a multicultural 100-page hardcover coloring book for people of all ages (especially the child in all of us) inspired by folklore and spirituality from the Philippines (Diwatas), Haiti (Lwas of Vodou) and Brazil (Orixás of Candomble and deities of the Indigenous Brazilian Tupi Tribe). Thirteen divinities from each culture are represented, along with the folklore and symbolism associated with each of the divinities. Included throughout the book are inspirational quotes, mindfulness activities for children, and poetry featuring Eniafe Isis Adewale of All Her Words, Aimee Amparo, and Haitian songs by Daniel “Brav” Brevil. 40 full-page illustrations.
