Book - The Great British Colouring Book

Following the public outrage at the Home Office decision to remove child-friendly murals of Mickey Mouse and Baloo the bear at its Manston refugee centre near Ramsgate, 38 Degrees and the Professional Cartoonists’ Organisation (PCO) joined forces to counter the cruel move, with the launch of a brand new colouring book for newly arriving children in the UK.

The PCO brought together over 50 cartoonists, including Terry Gilliam and Quentin Blake, to put together ‘The Great British Colouring Book’ for children arriving in this country. The colouring book, aimed at children of all ages, includes drawings of different quintessential aspects of British culture – from the full English breakfast, to the Loch Ness Monster.

As a result of the generosity of 38 Degrees supporters, more than 4,000 colouring books have made their way into the hands of newly arrived children.

Due to popular demand, we are now making the colouring books available to members of the public for a limited time and for a one-off donation. This updated version will feature more than 100 original cartoons from the UK’s best cartoonists – the perfect gift for a friend or family member this Christmas!
