About the Book

Know a child who likes to draw? This new edition of "Lines" (now in larger 8.5 x 11 inches format) encourages young artists to let their imaginations soar. As you read this book to a young child (or they read it to you), turning each page is an adventure in finding the "lines" on the page. Lines that come and go. Lines of different shapes and sizes. Skinny lines. Fat lines. Lines that go up. Lines that come down. Lines that seem to never get started. Lines that go on forever. Young artists are encouraged to let their "lines" zig and zag... zoom and soar. Our "lines" don't have to be straight and perfect. The final invitation is to join with us and use "lines" to make a beautiful picture for all the world to see! And, each child's beautiful picture can then be posted on the Lines, Lines, Lines page on Facebook: www.facebook.com/lineslineslines. The children in your life are invited: make lines with us!
About the Author: We draw lines to communicate. Lines form letters, letters become words, and words change us and our world. I wrote the little poem "Lines" for Dianne shortly after we were married. From age 3, Dianne was an artist. Dianne was God's special gift in my life, and together we made beautiful "lines". When Dianne was in graduate school at Syracuse University, she used my "Lines" poem for one of her projects: illustration of a children's book. For many years, her rough comp for the book was filed away... and we intended to maybe "someday" publish it. After Dianne passed away last year (two months after a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer), I came across her "Lines" book. Dianne was always a perfectionist in art, and I knew that she would not want me to publish the rough illustrations that she did in a whirlwind graduate program. I shared my story and Dianne's sketches with i Cenizal, the illustrator who has just worked with me on another book, HOPSCOTCH. I very much appreciate how i Cenizal was able to capture the spirit of Dianne's sketches in preparing the book for publication. Dianne was a fiber artist during the last 20 years of her life. After viewing some of Dianne's artwork, i Cenizal developed a color scheme for the book similar to many of Dianne's fiber art pieces. We decided to introduce a little boy and little girl in the book to tie the pages together. The boy and girl do not have names in the book, but I like to think of them as Ken and Dianne, who will make even more beautiful pictures in the life to come. --Ken Dockery
