About

I jumped off the office job hamster wheel and started doing what I should've done yeeeeaaars ago - writing! It sure as heck doesn't pay the bills (turns out the world wasn't gagging for my work), but at least I'm finally using what little talent I was given. It's taken years but I'm now producing work that embarrass me.After a long, harsh education about the publishing world, I taught myself the drill and have now published three books: Wild Avengers - Defenders of the Animal Kingdom, Chilli Bites - Revenge, a Dish Best Served Cold, and The Seagull and The Sheikh.

Description

<p>Have you ever seen a &quot;work of art&quot; worth millions, which looks like something your child just brought home from school?</p><p>The dual perspective of &quot;Beauty Is in the Eye of the Beholder&quot; and just a little bit of &quot;The Emperor's New Clothes&quot; 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 &quot;judges&quot; 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 &quot;masterpiece&quot; 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 &amp; Spiders &amp; 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 &quot;a modern day Dr. Seuss.&quot; - GTMA Review</p>
