ARTIST'S STORY:
Each page of this beautiful coloring book was created by Minneapolis youth in support of courageous heARTS - a local non-profit founded by Lindsay Walz, a youth worker and survivor of the 35W Bridge collapse.

After nearly losing her life in the currents of the Mississippi River, her dream of opening a youth center came into unquestioned focus. Five years later, after healing from a broken back and broken spirit—using art-making as a guide—she leaned on her courageous heart to make that dream a reality.
