When the Saints Come Marchin' In



Happy March to you!

This month's selection is an excellent reader for a family project. The book is a celebration of African American spirituals which are expressed through beautiful calligraphy and art influenced by quilting patterns from Gee's Bend in Alabama, African art forms, and inspirations from urban living. It is an exquisite book to browse, use as a hymnal, or share as a starting point for your own art journaling creations.

Artist Timothy R. Botts and author Patricia Raybon balance this book with inspiring words and design. You will be glad you read it.
