Description: "Florence Griswold: The Keeper of the Artists" by Deb Adamson, illustrated by Anne Zimanski, is a wonderful book. It tells the true story of Miss Florence Griswold, who is credited with making American art history by establishing the Lyme Art Colony, the epicenter of U.S. Impressionism. Florence called herself, "The Keeper of the Artists."
Brief description: Deb writes on a wide variety of topics for children, from nonfiction picture book biographies that inspire, devotional stories that encourage, to rhyming and non-rhyming books, that make kids laugh. She is a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI). She lives on the shoreline of Connecticut with her husband, son and not a cat, two or three-but just one very special orange Tabby, named Lumpy. She has spent many memorable hours visiting the Florence Griswold Museum with her son. Visit her website at www.debadamson.com
