Author Description

"Meet Alma, she loves to paint. With each new bucket of paint she finds, brushstrokes by brushstrokes, page by page, magic appears. Welcome to Alma's World. Alma's Art is inspired by the little-known African American painter Alma Woodsey Thomas, the treasured expressionist who made her national debut in the art world at age 80. Alma kept beauty and happiness at the forefront of her painting technique, studying how light and color worked together in the shapes and patterns on her canvases. Another new book by best-selling author Roda Ahmed who continues to bring inspiring stories of unknown heroes in history to children. Alma's Art is an important book to paint young minds with broad strokes that celebrate the colors of our world"--Publisher marketing.
