Pablo Picasso once said, “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remind an artist once he grows-up.” One afternoon, while coaching in Panama, I met Rey Alberto (eight years old then). Out of the blue, he told me, “I want to shoot down UFO’s with a bazooka,” and he was serious about it! That imagination, that innocence, that expression of complete possibility, inspired me to write this book. I thought that I should do something for girls and boys around the world. I want kids to know how big the world is, and how they can achieve their dreams. This coloring book is an opportunity for every child to learn about world geography and weightlifting, while enjoying art. This book is suitable to also help children learn English.
