🎨 How to color it

Layer the squirrel in chestnut brown and burnt sienna, make the tiny acorn golden ocher with a cocoa cap, and color the side flowers deep coral beside sage-green leaves. Use sharp colored pencils for the feathered tail sections, tracing the bold black curves first and then filling each small leaf, dot, and teardrop from the outside inward. For a crafted mandala effect, alternate turquoise and plum in the inner swirls while keeping the outer ring softly shaded in warm cream.

The story behind this coloring page

Every day, Tovala carved one more curl into a plain acorn shell, rubbing it with cedar dust until her paws smelled sharp and clean; it was only a charm to others, but to her it was the first thing she had made without copying anyone. Then the reed ferry snapped loose in a storm. Because of that, she lashed her acorn to a twig and read the water by its spinning grooves; because of that, the ferrymice rowed where the current sang silver under rain. At dawn, Tovala held her small stormwheel high, proud of every handmade curl.
