Linda Osmundson, author of ‘How The West Was Drawn: Cowboy Charlie's Art’, has been named one of ’50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’. Her honors came as a result of her appearance on The Authors Show. Osmundson was chosen from a field of hundreds of authors through a public voting process. ‘How The West Was Drawn: Cowboy Charlie's Art’ is a children’s book that details the work of artist Charles M. Russell.
“I am excited,” stated Ms. Osmundson, “to be included in ‘50 Writers You Should Be Reading’. I look forward to hearing from readers of my book.”
Linda Osmundson served as art docent in four major art museums, Phoenix Art Museum, Utah Museum of Fine Arts, Denver Art Museum and Seattle Art Museum, and two galleries, the Hearst Gallery on the campus of St. Mary's College in Moraga, California, as well as presently at the Loveland Museum/Gallery in Loveland, Colorado. She taught teachers, docents, and classroom volunteers how to interact with works of art. Her hundreds of tours have delighted children of all ages as well as adults. Linda's passion is to help children and adults look, see, interact, and remember fine art. ‘How the West was Drawn’ accomplishes that goal. Her second book in the series, ‘Frederic Remington's Art’, to be released in Spring 2012, follows the same format and goal.
Maureen Corey, Curator of Art at Loveland Museum and Gallery recently stated, "With engaging interactive questions, Linda Osmundson not only teaches about the life and art of Charles Russell, but provides tools that readers can use in future art 'investigations'. The success of this book hinges upon these accessible yet provocative lists of questions that bring the artist to life and offer a sense of accomplishment that encourages a love of art and learning."

Author Carmen Navarro-Talavera Helps Children Overcome The Fear Of Hurricanes in The Ant Lucy And The Hurricane
Hurricane season is swiftly approaching. All people suffer fear when hurricanes approach the US coastline, but children even more so. Author Carmen Navarro-Talavera helps children overcome their fear in The Ant Lucy And The Hurricane
Hurricane season is approaching quickly. The Ant Lucy and the Hurricane is purely a piece of fiction, but it is based on the reality of the dangers of hurricanes that many southern and water coastal areas in the United States are affected by greatly. The book teaches children and parents a new fun way to be prepared for the hurricane season and how to deal with this natural disaster as a family.
"The Ant Lucy and the Hurricane," stated Ms.Navarro-Talavera, "is a fun book that will teach not only the children, but also the entire family about the danger of this natural disaster. The book helps create awareness through Lucy and Lola's experiences with hurricane Javier. This book is different from others as the concepts speak to anyone from 5 year olds to grandparents. The illustrations are bright and fun. Included are homework assignments, Lucy's letter to parents and the Reader's theater, which can get the family together to have fun while they are learning."
In addition to a captivating story with beautiful illustrations, this children's book also contains:
A homework page
A to do supply list worksheet
A letter to parents from Lucy
A reader’s theatre to entertain the whole family
"The Ant Lucy and the Hurricane", Ms. Navarro-Talavera, "is also an excellent book for when children are waiting for the storm to arrive. Certainly nearly all children have a tendency to worry too much and get bored. The entire family can get involved with the play. This book is also written in Spanish and is titled "La hormiguita Lucy y el Huracan."
The Ant Lucy And The Hurricane, both English and Spanish versions is available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, local bookstores and at her website. Ms. Navarro-Talavera can be contacted by email at lucytheant1@yahoo.com or by using the information below.
