Description
Singing!
The book Alaska’s Animals You and I was a celebration of Shannon being able to paint again for the first time in eight years due to a medical condition. For the final page of the book, she imagined that all of the animals are singing in celebration of the Earth.
Printed in Alaska on matte paper that meets the Sustainable Forest Initiative guidelines that promote responsible management of the world’s forests.
