Treat Yo' Shelf

Update 4/22: The puzzles are expected to hit the port 4/23 and we're hoping to ship orders the week of April 28th. 

The wonder of reading and joy of plants come to life in this colorful homage to the books that we can't get enough of. Treat yourself and your shelf with this puzzle by Susana Sanchez-Young that exudes happiness. This 1000-piece puzzle measures 20x27.1 inches and is random cut.

The Treat Yo' Shelf illustration was a coloring page created for a little free library in Oakland. Susana’s inspiration came from childhood visits to her local library in Hollywood where every trip felt magical. As a kid, she felt engulfed by the massive bookshelves and infinite tales in the two-story building. After school, she and her siblings would roam free through the library reading every book they could. 

Susana Sanchez-Young is an East Bay-based visual journalist, art director, designer, illustrator, dancer, wife, avid thrifter and mother of two. She is the founder of The Designing Chica and an art director at the Los Angeles Times. Her bilingual artwork plays on references from pop culture and her childhood. It can be found emblazoned on everything from coloring books, paint kits, stickers and wall art. Catch her dancing at the annual San Francisco Carnaval or teaching her parrot new words.
