Yesterday was like Christmas...receiving an autographed copy of
Kathy and Diane's book "Engaging Learners through Artmaking".
I am so proud of them and amazed by all the hard work it took to finally get THE BOOK published!! Congratulations! Kathy and Diane: You are amazing, inspiring women!!
This morning I had a chance to start reading the book. Great forward by George Szekely. Wonderful Preface by John V. Crowe (one of my amazing college prof.). Then I started reading the text. So wonderful to reconnect with parts of my brain that were lurking under topics like "potty training" and shopping lists.
Then, what a nice surprise to read a quote from our research for the Brown University Knowledge Loom with Kathy, Diane and John in the summer of 2002. And look...my name as a source for the quote!! Okay, so it's just "Brannigan", but how cool is that. I got more excited showing the kids, so we took a picture of them holding the book that Mommy was so excited about:
Here is a picture from the Reference page at the back of the book:
And the quote that caught my attention:
My ego is on cloud 9...okay, it was...before Bridget knocked over Patrick's building, then a dirty diaper and now off to unload the dishwasher...back to reality, but what a nice diversion! Thanks, Kathy for sending me my very own copy of the book!
