{"product_id":"9780996670890","title":"Color! Just Take It Easy Coloring Book","description":"\u003cp\u003eI started coloring due to a fall that resulted in a chronic condition--sciatica. For seven months,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI was unable to do much more than sit in a recliner or sleep. To keep my attention away from\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe constant pain level of 9 or 10, I colored.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt relaxed me, gave me time to think pleasant thoughts, and allowed me a respite from\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eworrying about my condition. While overwhelmed by chronic pain and the drugs that\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edoctors prescribed, I found many hours of peace just by coloring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI had my pens and pencils carefully within reach. I used a large postal envelope behind my\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epages so that my pens did not bleed onto the next page. I imagine a sheet of paper would\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ework well for this, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs I continued my healing, I found that coloring had become my relaxing habit. I gradually\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebegan being able to walk and to resume many of my regular day-to-day activities. However,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eeach evening I was sore and wiped out. It is this child-like activity that keeps me focused and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003egives me hours of pleasure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI designed this coloring book for everyone, but I keep in mind my fellow chronic pain\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esu erers and wish them many hours of active engagement and peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heller Brothers Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47036250390768,"sku":"9780996670890","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780996670890_p0.jpg?v=1763900980","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780996670890","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
