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>
Story Behind The Book
I was siting in the cockpit of our boat waiting for the next stop. Having read everything onboard three or more times and selfish about my friends I'm often hard pressed to give them up, ( my books, I mean) so as a consequence of this perverse habit I once again found myself with nothing to read and facing... yes, you guessed it, Solitaire!
At that moment I looked up and found my husband busy with work at his captains desk and an unfair flash of 'the green monster' took me by surprise causing me to shake my head which left me looking at my small library. And the thought was born, why just read them? Why not try to write them?
Well, it's peaceful out there, the scenery allows you to think and breath and imagine.
I hope you'll enjoy Sins.
All the best,
Jameela Roshanara
