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
This is a story about a Heart Attack !
It's a story about my thoughts, feelings and response to a life shattering experience . . . . except that I was not shattered.
I am sharing my story because a heart attack or a disaster even more dire does not have to be a catastrophe.
My experience has helped me to discover a few remarkable things: Life has purpose. The Universe is infinite. There is Intelligence behind all that we see around us.

I found this to be a "heartfelt" inspirational book. Mr. Dacosta starts the book talking about his having a heart attack and needing heart surgery. a lot of this book is spent talking about the heart, and how much positive attitudes are important for good health and well being. I see a lot of truth in this book. He spoke about being positive, and happy, loving yourself. and having a loving heart toward others. there is a part of the book that talks about getting into heaven and where in heaven you will be depending on how you acted on earth. this is a nice read. I know i tend to be a pessimist, having a negative attitude toward situations. This book is a wonderful reminder that it is never too late to change your feelings and attitudes. Glad I got the chance to read this terrific book. I would give this a 4.5.</span></p>
