Books with author Mary Whyte

We the people--these words embody the ethos of what it means to be an American citizen. As individuals we are a tapestry of colors and creeds; united we are a nation committed to preserving our hard-earned freedom. In this heart-stirring collection of watercolor portraits of military veterans--one from each of the fifty states--artist Mary Whyte captures this ethos as well as the dedication, responsibility, and courage it takes to fulfill that promise.Those who raise their hands to serve may join for different reasons, but all--along with their families--make the extraordinary commitment to place the needs of the country before their own. Whyte gives us the opportunity to meet and to see some of them--to really see them. Whyte's portrait of America includes individuals from many walks of life, some still active duty, and from every branch: women and men, old and young, and from a wide swath of ethnicities, befitting our glorious melting pot. From a mayor to an astronaut, from a teacher to a garbage collector, from a business entrepreneur to someone who is homeless, Whyte renders their unique and exceptional lives with great care and gentle brush strokes.We the People is not only a tour across and through these vast United States, it is a tour through the heart and soul, the duty and the commitment of the people who protect not only our Constitution and our country but our very lives. We can only be deeply grateful, inspired, and humbled by all of them.

Excerpt from The Child's Rainy Day BookHow shall we answer the ever recurring rainy day question, What shall I do? We hear it wherever children are kept indoors - from what ever cause. All of us are concerned with the answer - mothers, fathers, teachers, big brothers and sisters - even maiden aunts. We all know what is coming when Jack turns from the rain Splashed window with a listless face and Dorothy, none too gently, thrusts her favourite doll into the corner with its face to the wall.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
