The compact books convey the message of freedom and creativity in communication of Gen Z, encouraging self-expression in new and unique ways, not constrained by grammar rules or formality.
Coloring books help relieve stress

Venting anger on books to... heal
When life is full of stress and negative emotions, books allow readers to be creative and become effective healing tools. Instead of letting anxiety, anger, or frustration fester inside, these books encourage readers to “transform” negative emotions into positive actions.
A book is not only a medium for reading but also a space for self-expression. Books that allow readers to interact with the content provide a sense of recovery from the release of negative emotions. These forms of interaction make the reader feel like they are taking part in a journey of liberation, where all the troubles can be “torn away” as a way to untie a part of themselves.
What makes these books so appealing to young people is their ability to create a personal space where readers can freely express their emotions without worrying about judgment. This is especially important for those who have difficulty expressing their emotions through words or actions.
Scribbling or even tearing books is not wrong when done in a specific context and with a specific purpose. On the contrary, this action can be an effective method of releasing emotions and finding peace of mind, especially when it comes to books that are designed for healing purposes.
