My Fingerpaint Masterpiece Coloring Book
Description
<p>Have you ever seen a "work of art" worth millions, which looks like something your child just brought home from school?</p><p>The dual perspective of "Beauty Is in the Eye of the Beholder" and just a little bit of "The Emperor's New Clothes" is evident in this clever artwork story of a child who paints a fingerpaint print in class and then loses it in the wind on the way home.</p><p>Illustrated from the point of view of a child, whose identity is left to the imagination of the reader since all of the illustrations are what the child sees, the fingerpaint print is interpreted by official "judges" as well as by bystanders. Should people be influenced by what others see, or use their own self-esteem to make their own judgments? This coloring book version allows children to illustrate their own version of the book, and even to create a "masterpiece" of their own!</p><p>This is the fourth rhyming children's coloring book by this award-winning author, whose other bestselling books include David's ADHD, My Little Angel, The Golden Rule, Mice & Spiders & Webs...Oh My!, Manner-Man, Gimme-Jimmy, The Magic Word, Peter and the Whimper-Whineys and Santa's Birthday Gift.</p><p><strong>About The Author:</strong> Former teacher Sherrill S. Cannon has won over 100 awards for her previous rhyming books and coloring books, and is also the author of 7 published and internationally performed plays for elementary school children. She has been called "a modern day Dr. Seuss." - GTMA Review</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal;"></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;">Lee Smith, author
of twelve novels and four collections of short stories including <em>Mrs. Darcy and the Blue-Eyed Stranger </em>had
this to say. “From its perfect first paragraph straight through to its hard-won
resolution, <em>Mama’s Shoes</em> is an
absolutely wonderful novel, its setting a beautifully realized small
Appalachian coal town, its characters so vivid they’re practically jumping off
the page. There’s conflict aplenty here too – between mother and daughter,
truth and lies, rich and poor, past and present – as thirteen year old Sassy
tries to determine the truth of who she really is.”<span><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"><span></span>Amy Greene, author of <em>Bloodroot</em> said, “<em>In Mama’s
Shoes</em>, immensely talented debut novelist, Rebecca Elswick weaves an
intriguing tale of buried secrets, at times both haunting and humorous, with a
cast of strong Southern women so real that I could almost hear them speaking to
me.”</span></p>
