🎨 How to color it

Color the monkeys warm cocoa brown, the metal bed frame antique brass, the curtains faded teal, and the little alarm clock cherry red. Use colored pencils for the striped pillow edges, thin bed rails, and small wall frames, then fill the blanket with smoother, broader strokes. For a retro twist, give the wallpaper shapes alternating mustard yellow and dusty coral, leaving the monkeys’ faces a soft cream.

The story behind this coloring page

Vera’s Minute Hand — Under the soft tick-tick of the bedside clock, Vera cupped a tiny brass minute hand in her paw. Read the full story →

Under the soft tick-tick of the bedside clock, Vera cupped a tiny brass minute hand in her paw. It had fallen loose at moonrise, and she wanted it back where it belonged before the house woke and the morning bell forgot to ring.

She stepped from the pillow fort into the cool, rumpled sea of blankets. Her cousins bounced from hill to hill, making the mattress boing and sigh. Vera waited, then jumped. A feather stuck to her nose; her favorite ribbon slipped into a pillow crack. “Hold still, bed,” she whispered. The clock kept ticking without its hand, patient as rain on a windowsill.

At last Vera reached the nightstand, fitted the little hand into place, and heard one bright click. The clock did not shout; it simply began to point again. She came back missing her ribbon but carrying the first golden minute of morning in her chest—and if you spot the tiny clock by the bed, you may hear that soft tick-tick too.
