About Amazing Alabama: A Coloring Book Journey Through
Product Description Amazing Alabama: A Coloring Book Journey Through Alabama’s 67 Counties is a delightful, one-of-a-kind coloring book whose publication coincides with two significant bicentennial celebrations: the 2017 anniversary of Alabama becoming a territory and the 2019 anniversary of Alabama becoming a state. It is designed to engage youngsters and adult coloring book enthusiasts in learning about the unique character of our nation’s 22nd state. Every county in Alabama is featured in Amazing Alabama with an appealing line drawing of its iconic and lesser-known sites―historical, geographical, topographical, industrial and commercial, and more. Companion text identifies and provides context for the pictured elements. The book provides a comprehensive educational snapshot of all that is special about the state. Author/illustrator Laura Murray was inspired to create Amazing Alabama, her first coloring book, after moving to Alabama with her husband from Georgia. Together, they made many road trips, which introduced her to the state’s history, its scenic highways and byways, its commercial centers and rustic small towns. Her coloring book showcases some of her favorite discoveries―the historic U.S. Post Office in Etowah County, Hatchet Creek in Coosa County, the pitcher plant bog in Chilton County, and much more. Review The Amazing Alabama coloring book takes fans of all ages on a wonderful journey through all 67 counties of the state. The whimsical drawings provide a snapshot of the diverse offerings found in Alabama while introducing some of the state’s most beloved hidden gems. At Alabama Mountain Lakes Tourist Association we plan to incorporate the book into our promotional efforts across our many social platforms as a way to show locals and visitors as to the many things to see, do and experience in Alabama. ― Tami Reist, president, Alabama Mountain Lakes Tourist Association Laura Murray has created a visual treasure trove of cultural history, historic sites, and regional symbols, which will inspire travelers, both young and young at heart, to break out their coloring pencils and hit the road for an Amazing Alabama adventure! ― Kristin Law, Arts Programs & Marketing Director, Black Belt Treasures Cultural Arts Center Amazing Alabama is an interactive, artful way to discover the state's rich and colorful history as we celebrate Alabama's Bicentennial.
