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.

Story Behind The Book
In the 70's while watching my wife storytell to young children I decided that I had to allow my intuition out or I had to become more intuitive. Within months incredible things began to happen. In Feb '79 at a week long festival in Pasedena California I witnessed my one and only manifistation, that along with an incredible hour speaking with Dr David Davies from Wales inspired me to study the Druids. Five days later and 1500 miles from this event I was handed 120 year old writings on beautiful old parchment paper, the top one read 'Chief Festivals of the Druids' and the second 'The Gaelcerth or Bonfire at Halloween', my birthday. These were given to me by mother who inherited them from someone outside our family. She passed them on to me and for the last 28 years I have explored intuitively these writings referred to by the author, John Hugh Roberts, as the Stone Book of Knowledge, in Wales, Cornwall, Ireland, Scotland, Peru and Mexico following up connections he makes in these writings. He spent the later part of his life writing down the stories and discoveries he made from the 1830's and 40's in Cornwall and Wales. A second publication 'The Stone Book of Knowledge' , a 256 handwritten document will be published shortly in 2010.
