About

I am a seventy year young grandmother.  I started writing stories for my two grandsons for Christmas a few years ago.  They liked them so much that they now expect a new one each year.
My husband of almost fifty years encouraged me to write and publish more children and young adult books.  His support has been fantastic.  We have two adult sons, a daughter and those two wonderful grandsons.
I have written and published on Createspace about 30 works.  Some have been combined into collections of stories.
Most of the stories have encouragement and hints for the reader, such as the Maddy and Squirt series.  This is a sister and brother that must deal with moving, a new home, making new friends, going to a new school and their encounters along the way.
Reading releases the hidden child in all of us and gives us hope, encouragement and insite.  Our imagination gives us wings to fly.

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.

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.
