Children's Biographies & Memoirs BIOGRAPHY
Creating children's books is what Pamela C. Rice enjoys and since August 2015 she has released 25 books including "When the Brown Bird Flies", "The Painting Speaks", "Aaron's Dreams", and "Rufus Finds A Prize". Each book is warmly illustrated by Rice and offers written artistic expression of her childhood experiences and inspirations that children will find fun, imaginative and educational.
The title "The Painting Speaks", is enriched with notes from internationally celebrated artists such Synthia Saint James, Evita Tezeno, and Clyde D. Lewis. This artistic collaboration results in an amazing story of a young girl who realizes her appreciation for art. She visits a local art gallery with her class and discovers the marvels of fine arts "that speaks to her" in a story that both parents and children will surely adore.
One of her recent books "When The Brown Bird Flies" even recounts the early childhood experiences of a a dear friend, and decorated Tuskegee Airman pilot, Jack Lyle.
