Hello Kitty is simple, classic, colorful and always cute. Since I was a kid, I've had a particular love of Hello Kitty coloring books. Me and my mom would sit down on a Sunday morning and color page after page together. I could customize her in any way I wanted and create a bright, beautiful and colorful world with her. It's something I still do with my mom today.

Recently I've been struggling with how to be an adult and still love Hello Kitty. Can I, being a twenty-something now, walk around with a Hello Kitty backpack? How do you reconcile being an adult and still loving something a lot of people associate with children? This art book seems like a step in the right direction.
