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 researched Ireland for years looking for something about their history that isn’t written much about. I love diving into the unknown. I found the most important part, about the tenants and landlords, was on the back burner. Every text online and in bookstores loved to talk about The Great Famine. Don’t get me wrong, it was a horrible time for my ancestors, but we know about that too much already and it’s not a great setting for a romance. So, after much reading about 19th century farming techniques, I wrote To Love An Irishman which is centered on a family farm in Ireland.
