  • A Coloring Book for Adults and Children - Secret Village: Extra Large Edition - Beautiful Underground Houses, Secret Cottages and Garden Hiding Places

    Sarah Janisse Brown

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, Dec. 31, 2015)
    Secret Village... "The first thing I noticed was the feel of the books. They had a nice thick waxy feel to the front covers. It probably sounds crazy, but I liked that feel more than some other books. The cover seems strong enough to open and close many times, and thick enough that it won't tear easily." "Inside you open it to black and white, which is the point of it because it is a coloring book. You get a beautiful picture with tree's with cute little doors and windows and then flowers and leaves." Turn the page and you get tall trees with intricate swirls in them and again the cute little doors. Nesteled in the tree's is a sly little fox." "I began my coloring on the 3rd page. At the top you see foliage, mushrooms, butterflies and flowers. There is a teeny little door and then the big feature is the sort of maze inside. It's like a little world for small people, or animals, or whatever your imagination comes up with." "Honestly just paging through the book I could spend hours looking at all the little pictures and my imagination running wild with stories of their house. I can just picture a little teeny something sitting at those small chairs, someone curled up by the warm fire, someone going about in the kitchen, and maybe a little someone nestled in the bed. All these little details are perfect for a coloring pencil or marker. The first 6 pages are back to back, so it may be better to use a coloring pencil. Then the rest of the pages have blank spaces in between so you could use a fine point marker, or gel pen." "What I like is that there are also what looks like close up shots of the little house. So say you aren't in the mood for fine detail at the moment, you could always pick one of the close up shots where the black and white spaces are a lot bigger and easier to navigate. On the opposite side of the detailed little houses are little drawings of gadgets, leaves, flowers or animals. There are tons of different things to color depending on your mood. Maybe you are only in the mood to color flowers, or leaves, there are big pictures of them throughout the book. I have a fondness for all the little house pictures. I love all the details of tables, chairs, stairs, beds... and you will love the inside of these little worlds."

  • Life, Love & Dyslexia: Sarah's Journal

    Sarah Janisse Brown

    Diary (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, June 19, 2015)
    "There were only a few things that I liked about school. I liked the pencil sharpener at the front of the classroom. I liked the closets where we hung our jackets. Most of all, I liked watching the big clock in the front of the classroom... when the hour hand pointed to the big three. I became a daydreamer. I would doodle on my schoolwork. I would play with my pencils and make origami when the teacher wasn’t looking. I would look out the window and imagine I was somewhere else. I felt like school was a waste of time, I wasn’t even good at schoolwork; the letters swirled around on the page, and long lists of math facts made me dizzy. I wanted to go home and build cities in the sand pile. The kids at school would always smash the cities at the playground. If I had been born twenty years later, I suppose I would have been labeled with “Dyslexia” and maybe “Asperger’s Syndrome.” In the right school, they may have even called me “gifted.” But in the 1980s, kids like me were considered “immature” and were called “daydreamers.” We became failures and were required to repeat whatever grades we couldn’t pass. I told my teachers that I was going to be a mom and an artist, like my mom, so why should I even go to school? I was fourteen when I finally talked my parents into homeschooling me. That was when the woods became my classroom. That was when I fell in love with life and learning. That was when I met Josh. That was when the sky became my ceiling."
