$15.00

The Sillybillies Find Stripes and Spots – written and illustrated by Julie Dawson

“Grab your sack and hiking stick.

Wear your best bandana

We’re off to find a secret place

In a high savannah."

And thus, four Sillybillies in bright bandanas set out on a hike in Africa where they do find the secret place, discover all kinds of animals, plus the wisdom and magical powers of a Giraffe and a Zebra. And the joy in getting to know others “different” from them.

Julie’s hope is for all of us to find happiness in expanding our world through new friendships.

The Sillybillies book series began when Julie discovered her 6 year old cousin, Becca, was diagnosed with Brain Cancer. Julie sent her a Sillybillies print and wrote three books of encouragement for her. In The Sillybillies, Julie wants kids to use their imaginations - drawing and painting. She introduces the imaginary kids;

"I can see them on my paper,

on the ceiling, or the floor.

They're my imaginary friends,

so I always can make more!

And so can you, if you try,

make Sillybillies light

on any wall, on a door,

on any paper white!"

For the illustrations, Julie combined her watercolor paintings of the Sillybillies themselves with her digital creations of the many animals and scenes of Africa.

8.5 x 11 inches, 13 pages, ages 3-10 and 21-101. Price $15.00 US
