Wreck This Journal: Now in Colour is a unique and engaging book by the renowned author Keri Smith. Published by Penguin Books Ltd in 2017, this book invites readers to embrace their creativity and break away from the constraints of conventional art-making. The genre of this book is hard to pin down, as it is part diary, part sketchbook, and part scrapbook, with a dash of self-help. It is a book that encourages readers to let go, to make mistakes, and to fill pages with their thoughts, ideas, and expressions in a riot of colour. The author, Keri Smith, has a knack for bringing out the hidden artist in everyone, and this book is no exception. If you're looking for a book that is different from the norm and allows you to express yourself in colour, then Wreck This Journal: Now in Colour is the book for you.

Helps you to rediscover the world around you. In this book, you are encouraged to explore the world as both artists and scientists.

Provides a secret message - a note on it for a stranger, and leave it in a public place; a recording device - have everyone you contact today write their name in the book; and an instrument - create as many sounds as you can using the book, like flipping the pages fast or slapping the cover.

Featuring dozens of new activities as well as some of the most popular prompts from the original, this title will have you travelling the city streets and country byways, filling the pages with man-made and natural objects, recording what you see, drawing, doodling - and destroying pages as you go.

Prompted to think about landscape, place names, maps, currency and more, this book encourages everyone to push their imaginations to the limit.
