Count-Down to Contest!

I love feedback!! I love hearing from my people! I love opening my email!! I LOVE reading my blog comments!!!!! Here's some lovely documentation of art projects that children created in response to my newest picture book, "Red, White and Blue." I received these images in an email this weekend from Mary at Christ Lutheran Children's Center in Bexley, OH. Prompted by my win a week ago for the INDIE Excellence Award, Mary knew how excited I would be to share the various responses created at their program with my reading audience.

These art projects were created in anticipation of Memorial Day festivities which included the sharing of my book and song in their program that serves children from the age of 2.5 thru 8 years of age. Mary tells me that the paper weavings were created by the oldest children at their center and the long white painting on the door was by their youngest. The variety of other work were created cooperatively by children in the middle and brought together to create a quilt for the center to enjoy for the national holiday.

My post tomorrow will be the official launch of my first Blog Hop & Linkie Party in celebration of the back-to-school season, in an effort to support teachers thru the observation of the tenth anniversary of 9-11. Be ready to come back and enter to win a signed copy of my picture book, complete with CD recording. I would appreciate
