My maternal grandfather was PA Dutch (another word for a branch of German immigrants that originally arrived in the late 18th century). This book has many beautiful drawings of the hex signs and I felt it was nice to have a book that is connected to part of my heritage. Drawings are not complicated and well proportioned. Would make great pictures to frame.     ★★★★★ Great for small kids Jocelyn The designs are simple so even my youngest daughter can join in with her older siblings.     ★★★★★ My granddaughter loved it Grammy Hudson My granddaughter and I spent an enjoyable afternoon with this coloring book. The hex signs are just as I remembered them as a kid.
