A coloring book (or colouring book, or colouring-in book) is a book of line art to which people are meant to add color with crayons, pencils, marker pens, or paint. These books often have perforated edges so the pages can be removed and used individually. The art may also be included as part of a storyline. Digital coloring books are also available.
As a form of art with an explicitly non-verbal medium, coloring books have seen use in education in settings where children may be unable to express themselves verbally. Examples include a coloring book created by the feminist artist Tee Corinne, in which she made pencil sketches of female genitalia for girls to colour in, and the production of coloring books to teach children about hieroglyphs and Mayan artist patterns.
Coloring books have also been used as a political tool, with one conservative publisher producing a book imagining Ted Cruz as a superhero. The artist Glenn Ligon makes coloring book paintings that are based on runaway slave broadsides, text paintings and other historical sources, to explore the multiple meanings, missions and ambiguities of black American experience.
