Coming Soon: 'Hillary Clinton: The Coloring Book' ... Just in Time for 'Hillary Clinton: The Presidential Campaign'

Get your 64-count box of Crayola crayons ready. Hillary Clinton — former Secretary of State, U.S. Senator, first lady, past and future contender for the presidency and the pride of Park Ridge — will have a new coloring book in her honor soon.

“Hillary: The Coloring Book” offers 30 pages on the life of Clinton, depicting her childhood and events throughout her career. Published by Ulysses Press, the book includes several opportunities for children and Hillary fans to color-in Clinton’s trademark executive pantsuits.

One page shows a toddler Hillary Rodham playing with an Abraham Lincoln bust. When Hillary was 3, the Rodhams moved from Chicago to suburban Park Ridge. Here, Hillary grew up, attended school, played sports and volunteered for Republican Barry Goldwater’s presidential campaign. She went on to Wellesley College, met Bill Clinton and the rest, as they say, is history.

A history worthy of its own $10 coloring book. Drawn by comics illustrator Valentin Ramon, the book is scheduled for release on Jan. 13, 2015.

Hillary Clinton has been a featured subject in comic books, including the Female Force series by Bluewater Productions that included profiles of Angelina Jolie, Arianna Huffington, Gloria Steinem, Cher, Michelle Obama as well as Clinton and others.

“Hillary: The Coloring Book” is the first foray into politics for Ulysses Press. In 2013, the publisher issued this title, “Sex Position Coloring Book: Playtime for Couples.” Sales for that book are said to be very strong.
