Lovely doodle/colouring book full of positive affirmations, fun slogans and right designs. The perfect gift for kids and teens.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for letting me read an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This is a great coloring book/journal. Although adults might love it, my first impression is that it would be great for someone preteen to young adult. There are tips and blank pages for improving your drawing skills as well as pages for following writing prompts. The artwork is fun and whimsical.

Thank you Netgalley and publishers for an ARC.

This book has sparkles written all over. It cheerful and fun. The colors are beautiful. Reading through it makes you smile. There is step by step drawing tutorials, reflection questions, and encouragement.

A cute book for young readers and older readers with a young heart!!

In this book, we can fill in parts of the book in sections titled how to be brave, love, be kind, be confident, be happy and positive too about ourselves and our bodies.



In modern times where we are very self critical this book will help teens and children alike to appreciate everything we have in life and reflect on the good not the bad. A delightful little book!



Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!

I would have loved an actual physical copy to colour and draw as I went through it. A wonderful mixture of pages, promoting confidence and mental positivity.

Shine Bright: A Color, Draw & Dream Book for a Beautiful Life by Lindsay Hopkins is an activity book that is currently scheduled for release on February 14 2020. This book is intended to build creativity and confidence. This book focuses on all of the awesome traits that make each reader special! Each chapter features patterns to color, fun drawing lessons, and ideas for writing about hopes and dreams.

Shine Bright is a inspiring activity book for middle grade and older readers. It offers encouragement for readers to be themselves, be brave, and keep moving forward. I liked the stress put on the fact that no one is perfect, no one can do something perfectly the first time, and that bravery is really about doing the things you love and want to try even though you might be scared. The activities including coloring, drawing, and writing lists and ideas related to the chapter subject. Often times I find books with this intent to be a little cloying, but I really like the way it was done here. It was not all "hip hip hooray you are perfect!", but rather takes notice of the fact that we all get scared and make mistakes and encourages readers to keep trying and to be kind to others because they are doing the best they can too. I think many young readers will enjoy exploring this book, and will hopefully come away from it with more confidence than before.

This is one book I will be using to help pupils with positive mental health. Great colouring book with lovely positive quotes. My favourites are "Confidence is a superpower" and "Creativity is intelligence having fun"

This is one of those books where I think having the physical ARC in hand would have made the experience better for me. This felt like a very meager workbook. I think there will be, I hope, little graphics to assist those who do not draw something to look at when creating their perfect llama, unicorn, butterfly, etc. There are drawing prompts in here as well as writing about those things that maybe you have overlooked about yourself.

It is hard to tell what this would look like in print since so much of it would be based on the vision of the author and what the publishing house will do with it once printed. I definitely would like to see this once it comes out on February 14! Valentine’s Day is a perfect day to show some love to yourself. So, definitely check this out if you want to find a more authentic you!

I received this as an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) in return for an honest review. I thank NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this title

This is a book all about YOU! It is a celebration of who you are and how special and unique you are. It's chapters include:

*You Are Magical
* You Are Creative
* You Are Curious
* You Are Kind
* You Are Brave
* You Are Loved
* You Are Confident
* You Are Super Fun
* You Are Brilliant
* You Are Beautiful
* You Are Perfect

Talk about confidence and creative skills building... this book delivers big time. It is full of patterns to colour, drawing lessons, and journalistic ideas that allows you to record your ideas, hopes, dreams and goals. It flows with positivity and uplifting quotes that will inspire and cheer you on. The design of the pages are appealing and the artwork is very well done.

This is a perfect gift to give that girl ( or boy) who loves to doodle, create and have fun! I highly recommend this book! Go ahead.... CELEBRATE YOU! YOU ARE AMAZING!

I really enjoyed the cues and prompts in this book. I also loved the premise of magic being an internal part of us vs what we usually think of magic. Now that adult colouring books have faded away a little, this type of personal journey with creativity is just what we need.

Shine Bright is part drawing tutorial, part introduction to bullet journaling, and part magic. Due out 14th Feb 2020 from Schiffer on their Better Day Books imprint, it's 96 pages and will be available in paperbound format.

This is a line drawn black and white book filled with drawing and writing prompts. The art is exuberant, simple, and appealing. Although aimed at younger/tween readers, this would also be a great selection for child minders, friends, and relations who are upping their 'draw with me' repertoires. I worked through a few of the drawing tutorials and managed a credible mermaid, cupcakes, and some flamingos. Lots and lots of fun. The drawing pages are perfect for coloring with pens, pencils, or crayons.

Hours and hours of intelligent fun with a positive message (you can do it, you are super fun, be silly, your imagination has no limits, etc etc). The vibe is upbeat and kind and a lot of fun.

Beautifully done. I enjoyed the tutorials and the message. And there are llamas wearing heart shaped sunglasses!

Five stars.

My niece would LOVE this book. This would be a great gift for any young or teenager who likes to doodle. As an adult, I plan on using some of these doodles in my bullet journal. This is perfect for anyone who likes to color or doodle.

This cute little book is so fun and would make the perfect gift for a young girl or teenager that likes to doodle. I even found it fun to try the drawings and artwork. I received this book from NetGalley for an honest review and I highly recommend it. It’s simple but happy and interesting.

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I thought i would give this book a try in an attempt to learn a few cute little doodles, and ended up really enjoying it! the artwork is adorable, all the drawings are very cute and have an acheiveable end product.

I would definitely get this for my nieces and nephews, it's very child friendly and full of wholesome content.

Part coloring book, part drawing tutorial, part journal, this special book brings so much positivity and charm to the world. I love that the coloring pages aren't extremely intricate--sometimes you just want to color something quickly that is going to inspire you to create joy in your life. This would be such a fun gift for a teen or young girl. There are a lot of different activities in here to inspire. Highly recommend!

4 stars!! :)

This is a super cute coloring book, mostly quotes and doodles, and there's even some drawing tutorials thrown in here and there. Looks fun!

Thanks netgalley for giving me a copy of the advanced PDF so I can share my opinions with y'all

This was an enjoyable book. the artwork is bold and simple. The step are easy to follow and the fact that I can color it was an added bonus. My daughter was able to follow it step by step. The motivational phrases were easy to read and the small paragraphs about being brave and being loved are so heartfelt. I fell in love with this book. I believe every little person should get this book for when they are feeling down, feeling like they aren't brave, or feeling like they can't do something, and need a confidence boost.

My 9 year-old daughter absolutely LOVES “Shine Bright”! The positive messages, mini activities, fantasy characters, and focus on fun made every page of “Shine Bright” a wonderful experience. Thank you!

I first downloaded this to my Kindle and I was so disappointed in the lack of drawings and cutesy illustrations like on the cover. I decided to download it to Bluefire reader... what a difference. The book is adorable. Teaching kids to draw, and show their magic selves and practice kindness, gratitude, etc.

Colorful and adorable. A great book for kids 7-11.

This is a lovely little book. Colouring, doodling and drawing while reading positive quotes and encouraging words. It is a book primarily for young girls but in all honesty I think females of any age would love getting out their coloured pens and getting creative. It is a great stocking filler or gifting book. The design of the pages are very appealing and the artwork is lovely.
