Country Colors, City Colors
Betty Farber, M.Ed., grew up in New York City. She loved the excitement of the city, the lights, the ballet, the museums—look in the book! She moved to Missouri when her daughters were growing up, and discovered she loved the country, too. When Betty taught preschool, she found engaging ways to teach about colors among other concepts, and was inspired to write this book.
Ann Hogue grew up in Albany, Missouri. She loved the serenity of the countryside, the fields, farm animals, and nature, which helped to inspire the illustrations for this book. Ann studied art in Florence, Italy, but returned to her hometown to teach middle/high school art at the Albany public school.
