ear Members of the Brownsville Community...
This coloring book is a wonderful way to share
with our young people the importance of living in a
litter-free environment...I think we all want this...
hence the project. Please sit and share with your
child/children the part we all play in the success
of having a clean community. We CAN make a
difference when we work together and have a shared
vision. This booklet is a result of that sharing
and commitment to the environment including, of
course, wildlife.
Special thanks to the following for working on this
coloring book project and bringing it to completion:
Christy Burton and Mark Anton, the originators
of this project; Fernando Magana for his gift of
artwork and design; Joanna Barnett for creating
the bookplate page and helping with the editing and
Spanish translation; and to Amelia Bice for working
on the Spanish translation and proofreading. Thanks
are also extended to Dr. Sandy McGehee, Director of
Educational Services with The Brownsville Herald,
for coordinating this entire endeavor. Many, many
thanks, one and all.
A labor of love...Enjoy!
