John Muir Laws recent book


Recently I purchased  The Laws Guide to Nature Drawing and Journaling on Amazon. I had bought his book for drawing birds last year and found it to be an excellent resource. Therefore when I discovered he had a new book out I bought it sight unseen. I was not disappointed. It collects all the nfo his tube videos provides and more all in one location. This is what got me interested in doing my Walks with Jake sketches.

The Wolves at the Door by Judith L. Pearson


Great Book! Read it on the recommendation of a friend and thoroughly enjoyed the book. It is the true story of an America woman who worked with and helped organize elements of the french resistance in France during WWII. A quick read written for adults but I think most teenage girls would find Virginia Hall an exciting and interesting role model. Also shows how a person with what most of us would see as a handicap can excel beyond the expectations of an average "normal" person. Hero is often defined as an ordinary person doing extraordinary things. But sometimes a heroine is an extraordinary person who does extraordinary things.
