Chinese Zodiac Colouring (English-Chinese Edition): 36 Postcards to Colour, Keep or Send

36 Zodiac Designs, 3 for Each Animal — A Chinese Theme Reimagined Through Indian Illustration, Printed as Tear-Out Postcards for Colouring, Mailing and Cultural Play
This is not a colouring book you keep on a shelf, and it is not a reference book about the Chinese zodiac. It is a portfolio of 36 tear-out postcards—three different designs for each of the twelve zodiac animals—drawn by an Indian illustrator who took the Chinese theme and made it her own. You colour them in, and then you have a choice: keep them, frame them, or write a message on the back and mail them to someone. The drawings are bold and inventive, not the usual template animals. And because the book is bilingual, the Chinese names of the animals sit next to the English, so the colouring becomes a quiet introduction to the zodiac at the same time. If you want a creative, cross-cultural object that is part art book, part postcard set, and part hands-on cultural play—rather than a plain colouring pad or a text-heavy zodiac guide—this is it.

Where Indian Art Meets Chinese Zodiac Culture

There’s something quietly wonderful about this set. The twelve zodiac animals belong to China’s oldest storytelling traditions — dragons, oxen, tigers, rabbits, each carrying centuries of meaning. But the hands that drew them here are Indian. Henu Mehtani, a veteran children’s book illustrator from India, has given each sign three wholly original patterns. The result is neither strictly “traditional Chinese” nor simply “Indian art,” but a genuine conversation between two ancient cultures-2-6.
