Congrats are in order for Minnesota CBIG member Alicia Schwab on the release of her new book project for St. Catherine University.  Here is a little info from Alicia's blog:



     "Guide to Reflective and International Giving" for St. Catherine University.

     I painted in total seven landscape paintings of the St. Paul and Minneapolis campuses. The concept/texture of          the art for the book was built around a famous quote:


     "We ourselves feel that what we are doing is a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop." -- Mother Theresa."

New book by MN CBIG member Marilyn Brown

In another great news post, MN CBIG member Marilyn Brown has a new book that she illustrated that was released titled the "Christmas Pony". In this heartwarming story taking place in the late 1950s on a small Midwestern farm, Jack and his sister Kate experience the realities and wonderment of country life. When a pony is born, the kids are caught up in the excitement and the responsibilities of caring for their new foal. A mishap occurs, the situation is resolved, and a lesson is learned.  Beautifully written and illustrated, The Christmas Pony brings you back to a simpler era. With a timeless theme appealing to children of all ages, The Christmas Pony provides many surprises, wrapped in the magic of the holiday season.
