“My Fingerpaint Masterpiece” by Sherrill S. Cannon is a story inside of a coloring book. The story is about a child who lost a piece of artwork; they were on their way home when the wind took their picture- sent it flying away. By mistake, the picture landed somewhere where it wasn’t supposed to – with other pieces of artwork being sent to be on display and judged. The child saw their artwork on display in a wooden frame while they were out with their parents and heard what the judges thought about the painting, which they thought was an adult artist’s work, but it wasn’t. The kid tried to tell everyone that it was their picture, but the judges and everyone around didn’t believe them. The kid left with their parents but is able to see their picture on display in the art gallery. read more

One day at school, a bully says that he doesn’t think Slappy can play or do anything with his bugle, so why does he carry it around? Slappy tells him to be ready on Friday after school, and he’ll show him what he can do with his bugle. Friday comes, and Slappy blows everyone away with what he can do, and the bully doesn’t bother Slappy anymore about his bugle. read more

Summertime has begun (not officially until June 21st) for kids out of school, and there is now more free time to do things they couldn’t do during the school year. The likelihood of kids spending more time inside or outside is greater, and with the increase of time spent in either place comes more potential risks if not handled correctly. Parents want their kids to have fun, but at the same time, they want them healthy as well! read more
