About the "Dreaming of" series of books. History can be a challenging subject to teach to young children. That's why Grant Collier and Stephanie Lowman decided to use time-traveling animals to turn historical events into exciting adventures. "I came up with the idea for a series of children s books back in 2010," says Collier. "But sadly, I was unable to illustrate them, because the dinosaurs I drew looked more like giant, green giraffes. Fortunately, Stephanie Lowman is a superb artist, and I was able to hire her to do illustrate the books." Grant blended Stephanie's illustrations with his own photos in order to create life-like scenes. This turned out to be quite the challenging task. Their illustrations and writing have evolved over the years, culminating in their two newest books "Dreaming of Rocky Mountain National Park" and "Dreaming of California."

Two decades ago, Grant Collier embarked on a project that had him following, quite literally, in the footsteps of his great-great-grandfather, the pioneer photographer Joseph Collier. He traveled throughout Colorado taking photographs from the exact same spots where Joseph captured his images over a century before. In 2001, Grant released a book of these photographs entitled "Colorado Yesterday & Today." "Colorado Then & Now" is the sequel to this book, and it contains 200 new photographs. These images capture, in stunning detail, the changes that have occurred in Colorado over the past 145 years. They depict breathtaking landscapes, from the glacially-carved peaks of the San Juan Mountains to the remarkable rock formations along the Front Range. They show early stone structures and towering steel skyscrapers in Denver, boisterous mining camps in the Rockies, and wagon roads, railroads, and modern highways built through steep valleys and over rugged mountain passes. Accompanying these images are essays on six regions of Colorado, along with a biography on Joseph Collier. No expense was spared on the elegant cover, which measures 12.1" x 13.3". It contains gold foil stamping on the front and sides, and real black cloth wrapped around the spine.
