What Is a Black Coloring Book?

A black coloring book is a special type of coloring book printed on a black background, rather than the traditional white.

Coloring with colored pencils or crayons produces a vibrant, extra-special finish.
Cute even if you go over the lines!

Easy to start anytime!
All it takes is a single colored pencil, making it perfect for quiet time at home.

22 Cute Illustrations — Plus a Story to Follow Along

The book features 22 pages of illustrations centered on themes that children love — girls, princesses, witches, sweets, and accessories. As children color, they also follow along with a story, building the world of the tale in their own chosen colors.

The protagonist is Emma, a 7-year-old girl, who sets off on an adventure with her companion, a small rabbit, diving into the magical world inside the pictures. Together they search for "five star jewels."

At the end of their journey, they encounter a gentle and sparkling "Star Princess."

Each page includes a completed coloring reference image, so children can see what's possible and feel excited to get started. Even beginners can dive in confidently, and the thoughtful design keeps motivation high throughout.

By reading the story, layering bright colors over the black background, and freely choosing their own palette, children can create a picture world that is entirely their own — sparking imagination and delivering a satisfying sense of achievement.

The Cover Becomes a Coloring Page Too

Decorate with stickers!

Remove the outer jacket and the cover itself becomes a coloring page. Once the entire book is colored from cover to last page, it transforms into a one-of-a-kind coloring book that belongs to no one else.
