Author, artist, transpersonal psychotherapist and business person all describe what Monique Mandali is, but do not tell you who she is. I've been privileged to meet Monique and I know that she is a seeker traveling her path. Her walking stick is her love for all, especially children. Ms. Mandali offers a series of four coloring books for children and adults. There are three different delights in the original Everyone's Mandala Coloring Book series, each consisting of 22 designs. While the original three books in the series contain designs by the author, the latest (and perhaps greatest) has 25 peace mandalas from children all around the world. The Peace Mandala Coloring Book is very special because the mandalas are designed by children unencumbered by the pressure of adult living. Further, they bring a variety of spiritual as well as geographical cultures to bear.

Monique Mandali has given us something special. Not only do we find drawings to color that can aid in health and serenity...Everyone's Mandala Coloring Book Series is additionally special because they represent the best part of Monique Mandali, her love!

Gorgeous designs. I've purchased several copies as gifts for kids as well as older people and am not about to stop buying this wonderful coloring book. Plus I really like the perforated pages for easy removal of the pages. Thanks, Monique!

I purchased the whole series. At times different forms call for my attention and the additional selection is definitely appreciated. The variety is quite good. They range from simpler to complex, with open spaces which leave room for my own variations. The author's designs seem to create a sacred space in which the individual's own light can shine, even if all they want to do is simply "color" a bit. I would expect this flexibility to make them accessible to people with widely varying skills: children, many disabled persons, the elderly, the imaginative and the gifted artist, as well and most of us who are somewhere in between. Yet they are undemanding so that no one need miss out on the calm center and its healing.

A wonderful book...big designs (not to complicated) gives enough room for coloring patterns...just be careful with the markers, pages are thin and colors go through(fortunately, there is one design per page only)...have fun.

I recently discovered the Mandala and being the inquisitive person that I am I decided to try my hand at creating my own. This is just one of the coloring books I orderd by this author. Very enjoyable!

The joy of mandalas, March 3, 2009
By J D (St. George, UT) - See all my reviews

As a Buddhist, mandalas have a special power. I have enjoyed coloring these mandalas. But I think these mandala coloring books are of universal interest. My grand-daughters approach each mandala with energy and fascination. They are perforated, so each of the colored mandalas are completed and posted on the wall. I would recommend these mandala coloring books to everyone.

Volume 2 of Everyone's Mandala Coloring Book has given me even more opportunities to share this wonderful, relaxing experience with friends of all ages - and to enjoy this peaceful, centering activity. Kudos to the author and creator!

I love this coloring book. It is truly a classic. My favorite way to use it is to initiate communication with children or with teenagers that are otherwise reluctant to open up---coloring together, or using it as a "doodling page" while we talk about more concrete subjects at first. Before I know it, we're led to more significant communication.
Thanks to the author and creator for the gift of making this book available!

This artist/author has made the beauty and mystery of the mandala available to a western audience. By taking the basic structure of the eastern mandala and infusing it with subtle imagery from other cultures, she creates a collection of images that are timeless and modern. Her native american inspired mandala's are among my personal favorites. I have used these images for my own entertainment, in therapeutic settings and as the starting points fiber art creations. It is interesting to see what one can learn about one's self by looking a completed mandala. As a fan of color books for adults, this is by far my favorite series in the field. Get some colored pencils, relax and see what happens.

The designs in Everyone's Mandala Volume 2 are all excellent ! They are intricate enough to be interesting and simple enough to color one in a short ammount of time . The price is way too high for such a small collection in my opinion , but oddly enough I don't regret buying it .
