	What if…Michelangelo was a Picklemaker? This is the first book in the series. Featuring fourteen remakes of famous works of art, the book uses the concept of parody to present an array of styles and artists from more contemporary creators such as Frida Kahlo to time honored artists such as Rembrandt van Rijn. Teacher activities that present lessons in writing and art are also included. (32 pages, Price Paperback: $12.00.)	--> To request an autographed copy or dedication write it below:
	Cow Pies in the Night Sky This story follows the challenges between two cow artists, Dairy Cassatt and Georgia O’Beefe, who are both determined to prove that they are the best cow artist in the world. The story traces the rancorous relationship that eventually becomes one of respect and friendship. Each page in the book is based on an art style, movement, event, or artist who is well known or renowned in the art world. A palette icon designates the art reference directing readers to the original works, which facilitates additional education. A separate kit is available that incorporates the four art forms - visual art, music, dance, and theatre activities that tie in with the characters and plot of the story.

	Barbwire Blues The second book in the series about two artistic cows--Dairy Cassatt and Georgia O’Beefe features the two bovines traveling to Spain to learn more about their idol--Pablo Picasso. When they view Picasso’s 20th century masterpiece--”Guernica” Georgia falls instantly in love with the bull in the painting. To distract Georgia, Dairy convinces her to travel around the world and view all of the other works that feature cows.  However, in her quest to get the orange cow’s mind off the bull in the “Guernica” composition, it is just reinforced when she continually encounters more of the Cubist’s imagery.  After a failed makeover, Georgia resigns herself to the fact that the images are only canvas and it is better to love a live cow than the rendition of a famous artist.
