Welcome to my blog

Welcome to my blog, I am an artist turned illustrator/author of childrens educational coloring books.Because I believe we live in the best country in the world, I want children to learn about our country in a way they will enjoy. I think all kids like to color (even in our electronic world). While doing research for the books I learned that many parents don't know a lot about our country themselves, Some said to me " I should get the books for myself ". So I decided to do this blog, featuring each state as I research and illustrate it for the books. It is a fun way for young and old to learn about different states. Check the Visit the U.S.A. page.

School Visit

I visited an elementary school yesterday, and took along a friend who actually lives in Alaska. The subject I was talking about with the children was Alaska, and I thought it would be fun for the kids to ask my friend Dorothy questions about Alaska.
Some of the questions were, Do you have schools in Alaska ? What do the kids wear ? Have you ever seen a real Eskimo? How big are the moose ?
The students were first, second and third graders. They were excited when we gave each one of them a coloring book about Alaska ,which I donated and crayons which were donated by a local restruant.It is very rewarding to spend time with the children.
 Now, let's get back to learning about Nevada.
