"Be Happy,be Happy, be full of Joy!..."- 'Abdu'l-Baha

A new Cheering Child to cheer us on this week! Even though the week is almost over! Thumbs up!
"Be Happy, be Happy, be full of Joy!..." "The afflictions which come to humanity sometimes tend to centre the consciousness upon the limitaions, and this is a veritable prison. Release comes by making of the will a Door through which the confirmations of the Spirit come.".... 'Abdu'l-Baha
My latest submission to Illustration Friday!
The theme this week is Children! I did this  a few years ago and submitted it to Down East Books in Maine along with a picture book idea for a story based on a song I wrote called "Livin' On The Coast of Maine".
Alas, they weren't interested in it at the time, but they sent me a very encouraging rejection letter.
My 7 year old grandaughter Phaedra found out I was submitting art work to Illustration Friday and she wanted to do it too.This is her submission for last week when the theme was Sweet!


This is her submission this week for the theme "Children"
Looks like a cheering child to me!
Interesting since she hasn't seen any of my "Cheering Children" yet. I think it's because school is now out and she's excited for the arrival of Summer!

Have a happy day!

I'm still cleaning out my portfolios and I recently found a booklet I illustrated once about Religion in the USA. I was living in Connecticut at the time.

These are some of the religious symbols I was asked to draw for the book. I thought it would be fun to share these during the Holiday season. I was asked to draw this as a symbol of the Baha'i concepts on the Oneness of Religion. Torah- Judiasm Christian Cross Menorah-Judiasm This symbol- the Crown of Thorns was included in the book as a Christian Science symbol Another pretty Menorah Happy Holidays!

SO grateful that I have two books that I've written and illustrated available on line NOW!  A picture book for the young ones and a chapter book for older readers! My picture book about a day in the life of a Baha'i Child called Kamal's Day, published by Bellwood Press, shows how a young boy studies some Baha'i quotes in his neighborhood children's class and is involved in other core activities in his home and neighborhood. Glad to say that this book would make a great gift for a child from age 3 to 8! Me with my book-Kamal's Day, published by Bellwood Press! Join Kamal as he goes about a typical day in his neighborhood, spending time with his family, attending a neighborhood children's class, visiting an elderly neighbor, playing with his friends, and helping his parents host a study circle. Kamal's Day offers us a glimpse of a young person who is fully engaged in the community-building process, and it is hoped that Kamal will offer famil
