Books by Astrid van der Hulst

A new 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle from Flow, celebrating the magic of nature and of everyday small moments with a charming nighttime nature scene from illustrator Valesca van Waveren, and a quote from Frances Hodgson Burnett (author of The Secret Garden): Everything is made out of magic.

From the creative minds and remarkable illustrators at Flow magazine, a delightful book that teaches the art of drawing through 50 step-by-step lessons in drawing the everyday.

Slow down, celebrate the flaws, own the good stuff, and focus on learning to love and appreciate yourself. These themes of self-compassion and self-care are hugely popular, and Flow® has a unique and creative take on them. Now, following A Book That Takes Its Time, with 205,000 copies in print, A Book That Loves You offers a message that will resonate in its simplicity: Be sweet to yourself, no matter what kind of day you’re having. (In fact, the challenging days are the days you’ll most want to pick up the book.) Discover the comforting effects of a daily ritual, like drinking tea. Why it’s okay—and even beautiful—to stumble now and again. Embrace the art of being alone. Release the reins on your schedule. And learn to love yourself with all your imperfections—including your over-productive mind. The book combines Flow’s signature scrapbook-like look and feel, focus on mindfulness, and high production standards. Sprinkled throughout the essays, illustrations, and sayings are paper “goodies,” designed to help readers put what they read into action: A “slow down” sticker puzzle, a pullout “My Own User Manual” map, a DIY flower to assemble and enjoy.             It’s a delightful gift for yourself or someone you care about—a book to peruse and engage with, using creativity and intention.  

A hands-on treat of a sticker book that only Flow could produce: every page includes sticker-related paper-craft goodies to engage kids and help them experience the pleasure of paper and slow down to be in the moment. Follows the successful format of The Kids' Book of Paper Love - but with a focus on that kid favourite, stickers!

Make every gift more beautiful with Flow's wrapping paper and complementary gift tags. The paper has patterns on both sides featuring themes from the entire Everything Is Made Out of Magic suite. Includes twelve 19" x 26" sheets of wrapping paper printed with different illustrations on both sides, plus 12 punch-out full-color gift tags.

The joy of stickers meets the pleasure of Flow: 28 full-color adhesive sheets are filled with hundred of images to decorate a journal, notebook, laptop, or phone. Includes over 800 gorgeous, high-quality stickers, including birds, hedgehogs, wildflowers, and more.
