From the publisher-
"Each of our books is a product of love, but this one has another layer of it instilled on its pages.
"Each illustration has thermochronic ink screen-printed over the full colour illustration, giving it two phases when human touch (heat) is applied. The ink is manufactured to react at 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit) or higher, so it can work or not depending on the temperature of your surroundings and how warm or cold your hands are.
