About this title

Synopsis:

Color My World is an amazing interactive journey for children of all ages. Debbie Mancini begins the excursion immediately by inviting the reader to finish writing the opening poem and then draw a picture (in the space provided) to further express themselves. The author's imagination continues to lead the reader through an intriguing group of feel-good poems designed to make children comfortable in their own skin. The book walks through a variety of emotions and situations that encourage the reader to see things from perspectives they might not have thought of before, while subtly teaching them to journal their own thoughts ... right there in the book, in the spaces provided -- and those spaces will not be blank for long! The black and white illustrations by Jackie Cleary add depth to the book, while maintaining an innocent simplicity. Color My World, and its Origami Poetry Writer at the end of the book will bring out the creativity inside each child. And, if you are fortunate enough to attend one of Debbie's workshops, you will see for yourself just how Debbie unwraps kids' minds to discover that beautiful gift of creativity!

About the Author:

Debbie Mancini is an award winning author/poet, charitable fund raiser for various children's organizations, and children's mentor/activist. As a native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Debbie enjoys the rousing beauty of the city, along with its intellectual and cultural diversities, and the abundance of ethnic foods and ways of life. A writer truly could not ask for a more stimulating place to live! You can frequently find Debbie shopping in the city's open market for all the flavors of Pittsburgh. However, it is at home where she is most comfortable cooking for and entertaining family and friends. She currently lives in a suburb north of the city with her two sons (Stefan and Josh), and their dog (Sparky) ... all of whom inspired most of the poems in this book.
