On Watercolors.

As an artist, I have always hated using watercolors as a medium. I don't have the patience or the immediate perfection. I just have never appreciated using them. I enjoy more manipulatable mediums such as oil and acrylic, torn paper, plaster, clay, etc. etc. If I could sit and fuss around with it until it did what I wanted to, I use it.

I was just thinking something slightly along those lines a coupe days ago - but it's funny because what made me realize it was a public bathroom. This bathroom was slightly fancy, and it had a bench with a nice cushion on it, I guess for people waiting for someone else. My kids were SO IMPRESSED and appreciative of this bench. They both had to sit on it and remark on its wondrous fanciness. And it was fun, it felt good to stop and enjoy the little things, and let myself really feel appreciative of something as small as a slightly improved public bathroom experience. When I realized how much fun I was having with them, I told them, and they were mightily pleased.

I love this post. I want these books. Could you post the title/ISBN, please? I don't seem to be putting the right search terms into Amazon.

The ISBN-10 is 037587349X
The ISBN-13 is 978-0375873492 (frankly, 13 is almost never used, but with the two, you should be able to find any book near anywhere).

The title is "Color My World" by Eric Carle.
