Dear MaryAnn, Kim, Rebecca, and staff,
I just received my copy of Discovering Great Artists : Hands-On Art for Children...and am so happy with it! Your book exceeds my expectations!! I have "devoured it" and noticed the thousands of extra details you included.... I've just retired from teaching and Library Media Coordinator careers, and now want to put into greater use my passion for art appreciation. Whenever possible over the years, I taught lessons using the concept of your book...Thanks so much for the encouragement as my future unfolds!
Mrs. J. Davis, Vineland, NJ
