FAQs
Books & Products
Where can I buy Belly Bean coloring books?
Belly Bean books are available through several channels:
- Belly Bean’s online shop: Limited self-published editions, printed and shipped directly by us from Montréal, Canada.
- Amazon: Selected titles printed through Amazon KDP.
- Publisher editions: Selected titles available through our publishing partners and local bookstores in different countries.
Availability, paper, size, binding, and price may vary by edition. Please check each product description before ordering.
Why does the same Belly Bean book sometimes have different paper?
Some Belly Bean books are self-published, while others are printed by Amazon KDP or licensed to publishing partners around the world. Each edition may have different paper, dimensions, binding, cover finishes, pricing, or translated text.
The illustrations are the same, but the physical editions are not always identical.
What is special about Belly Bean self-published editions?
Our self-published books are produced independently in small batches and shipped directly by Belly Bean from Montréal. Product specifications vary, so you’ll find the exact paper, size, page count, and binding details on each product page.
Are Belly Bean books suitable for beginners?
Yes! Our pages are created for relaxing, pressure-free coloring. The bold, clean linework and cozy scenes are approachable for beginners while still leaving plenty of room for experienced colorists to add lighting, textures, patterns, and creative details.
What kind of paper do the books use?
Paper depends on the edition:
- Self-published editions: Premium paper specifications are listed on each product page.
- Amazon KDP editions: Printed using Amazon’s standard coloring-book paper.
- Publisher editions: Paper type and thickness vary by publisher and country.
Please check the individual product page for the most accurate details.
Are the illustrations single-sided?
Most Belly Bean coloring books feature one main illustration per sheet, but formatting may vary between editions in some countries. Please check the product description for the book you are purchasing.
Are the pages perforated?
Unless stated on the product page, our pages are not perforated. If you would like to remove and display a finished page, we recommend carefully cutting it out rather than pulling it from the binding.
Ordering & Payment
What currency are prices shown in?
Prices on the Belly Bean online shop are shown in USD. Your bank or payment provider may convert the total into your local currency and may charge a currency-conversion fee.
When will I be charged?
Your payment is processed when your order is placed. You will receive an order-confirmation email after checkout.
If you do not see it, please check your spam or promotions folder and confirm that the email address entered at checkout was correct.
Can I change my shipping address?
Contact us at hello@bellybeanco.com as soon as possible.
We can update the address only if the order has not already been packed or shipped. Once a parcel has been handed to the carrier, we cannot redirect it or guarantee that an address change will be possible.
Can I cancel my order?
Please contact us as soon as possible at hello@bellybeanco.com.
Cancellations are not guaranteed once fulfillment has begun. Orders that have already shipped cannot be cancelled.
Digital products cannot be cancelled after the download has been delivered or accessed.
Shipping
Where do you ship?
We ship direct-shop products to Canada, the United States, and selected international destinations.
Enter your complete address at checkout to see whether shipping is currently available to your location. Shipping availability may change depending on the product, destination, or carrier service.
How is shipping calculated?
Shipping is calculated at checkout based on your destination, parcel weight, dimensions, and the available carrier service.
As a small independent business shipping from Canada, we are not always able to offer the same shipping prices as large retailers.
How long will delivery take?
Delivery estimates depend on the destination and shipping service selected at checkout. International parcels may take longer because of customs processing, local postal delays, weather, or other circumstances outside our control.
Carrier estimates are not guaranteed delivery dates.
Will I receive tracking?
Tracked orders receive a tracking link by email after shipment.
Tracking may take a little time to update after the label is created. For international orders, updates may also pause while the parcel moves between countries or postal systems.
Will I have to pay customs duties or import taxes?
Import rules vary by destination.
For some destinations, applicable duties and taxes may be collected at checkout. If they are not collected at checkout, the recipient may be asked to pay import taxes, duties, brokerage fees, or carrier handling charges before delivery.
These charges are determined by the destination country and carrier and are the customer’s responsibility. Belly Bean cannot predict or control them.
What happens if I refuse to pay import charges?
If a parcel is refused or unclaimed because import charges were not paid, any refund will be considered only after the parcel is safely returned to us.
Original shipping charges and any return, customs, or carrier fees may be deducted from the refund.
What happens if I enter the wrong address?
Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address.
If a parcel is returned because the address was incomplete, incorrect, or unclaimed, we can arrange reshipment after it returns to us. Additional shipping charges may apply.
Problems With an Order
What if my order arrives damaged or incorrect?
Please email hello@bellybeanco.com within seven days of delivery and include:
- Your order number

Please keep the damaged product and packaging until we have reviewed your request. We will assess the issue and offer an appropriate solution when the damage or error is confirmed.
What if my package is marked delivered but I cannot find it?
Please:
- Check around the delivery location, mailroom, parcel locker, and building entrance.
- Ask household members, neighbours, concierge staff, or building management.
- Allow one additional business day, as some carriers scan parcels before final delivery.
- Contact the carrier using your tracking number.
If the parcel is still missing after these steps, email us and we will help you review the available tracking information.
Returns & Refunds
Do you accept returns or exchanges?
Because our books and paper goods are produced and packed in small batches, we do not accept returns or exchanges for change of mind.
If your order arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect, contact us within seven days of delivery so we can review the issue.
Nothing in this policy limits any rights you may have under applicable consumer-protection law.
Are digital products refundable?
Digital downloads are final sale once the files have been delivered or accessed.
If you experience a technical problem with your download, contact us at hello@bellybeanco.com and we will help you access the files.
Are original shipping charges refundable?
Original shipping charges are non-refundable unless the order was incorrect or arrived damaged because of an error for which Belly Bean Co. is responsible.
Digital Coloring Pages
How will I receive my digital pages?
After checkout, you will receive access to download your files. Please save a copy to your device after downloading.
If you do not receive the download email, check your spam or promotions folder and make sure you used the correct email address at checkout.
Can I print digital pages more than once?
You can update your name, email, password, or saved addresses by logging into your account dashboard.
All changes are saved immediately and used for your future orders.
Can I color the pages digitally?
Yes. You may import the file into a compatible drawing app such as Procreate or Photoshop for personal coloring.
For easier digital coloring, place your color layers beneath the line-art layer and set the line art to Multiply if needed.
What paper should I use for printing?
Choose paper that works with your printer and preferred coloring tools.
- Colored pencils and crayons: approximately 100–120 gsm
- Gel pens and water-based markers: approximately 120–160 gsm

Always test your printer settings and coloring medium first.
