“Splatter” by Diane Albers
This story is about three splatters; red, blue and yellow. At first they do not want to work together, but they soon discover that working as a team can end up being so much more. Following the story, we will create a painting using just three colors to mix and make green, orange and purple.

“We March” by Shane W. Evans
Sixty three years ago on August 28, 1963, there was a March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. The march started at the Washington Monument and ended at the Lincoln Memorial where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous speech, “I Have a Dream.” This book brings together the thrill of the day in simple statements and beautiful illustrations. After the book will be a related craft.
