NEW BOOK: HORSE INDIAN WOLF9/2010
ABOUT THE BOOK Can you find the camouflaged images in Judy Larson’s artwork? The paintings in this book have hidden images and the stories that accompany them will give you the clues. Often, the concealed image is of a companion, but sometimes it is of an animal that shares the same fate. For example, the Alaskan wolf and the wild horse, both hunted to near extinction; or the great bald eagle—the spirit of freedom—hidden within the painting of a wild horse. Other paintings tell Indian legends and stories of great Native American leaders. The artist’s favorite companions in hidden images are the horse and the wolf, her two most beloved species. September 2010 Release |
NEW BOOK RELEASE: 9/20/2010 In September, the Greenwich Workshop Press will publish what will undoubtedly become one of the most popular and educational find-the-hidden picture books since Bev Doolittle’s, The Forest Has Eyes. Judy's new book, Horse Indian Wolf, is a 48-page exploration of the importance of protecting endangered species, habitat for wildlife, and the way of life of Native Peoples. Two themes converge in these paintings and stories: the lives of animals in the wild and the fate of Native Americans who lived in harmony with the natural world. Inspired by Judy’s detailed paintings of wildlife, author Kathleen Kudlinski weaves biology, ecology and Native American legend and history into an inspired treatise for young and old alike. Do you see the camouflaged images in Judy’s art? The stories give you the clues! Often, the concealed image is of a companion, but sometimes it is of an animal that shares the same fate; for example, the Alaskan wolf and the wild horse, both hunted to near extinction, or the majestic eagle--the spirit of freedom—hidden within the painting of a wild horse. Other paintings tell Indian legends and stories of great Native American leaders. Visit www.greenwichworkshop.com/HorseIndianWolf to see pages from the book.
