“Dacia Cunningham offers a spectacular addition to the world of creative writing, especially those just getting started. I’ve heard over and over from people, “I just can’t write.” But I sense almost everyone wants to. This book removes all excuses. It teaches creative writing from the ground up, erasing all mystery and pulling back all the proverbial curtains. At the end of the day, this is what creative writing is about, and once you see it, you’ll realize this has been at your disposal all along, and you can be a creative writer too. This will be a valuable resource to individuals and classrooms alike. Highly recommended.”
A little over a year ago, my daughter and I put together a coloring book, and it is high time to post about it again because I am freakin’ proud of her and her art.
Kennedy has always loved giraffes. Loved is a soft term for obsessed. Kennedy has always been obsessed with giraffes. When she was little and we went to the zoo, all she cared about was the giraffe enclosure, and there, we would stay for an hour and a day, it seemed. She watched their movements, studied them, and learned that ‘giraffes are people too.’ In her imagination, giraffes did people things – and as she grew older, she began to draw giraffes – but these were no ordinary giraffes. These giraffes were busy … driving cars, painting, and raising kids. Her artwork astounded me, and I pushed and encouraged her to compile a collection. It took a few years to convince her that her art was good enough for the public to see … finally, she said “Yes,” and we put together this coloring book. I could not be more proud of my daughter!
It is on Amazon, and not just because I’m her mom, I say it is WORTH getting – whether you color the pages or not. The art and creativity is fun and unique. We looked online prior to putting the coloring book together, and nothing we found came close to it that we could find in our searching. “Giraffe to Be Kidding Me” is a fun twist on the world of giraffes, giving them people qualities … because, of course, they actually are people, too. Insert a mom-raised-eyebrow here and a smiling face. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BXMRB5N2
To see more of Kennedy’s artwork, visit https://www.instagram.com/_neddums/. Here, you can see art recording a day in the life … of Kennedy’s own household … or giraffes doing their thing but in color. Again … proud mom for a reason. She’s good.
