HOW THE ROOSTER GOT ITS CROWN
I was working my way through college and had a job in the day and studied at night. When I had spare time, I would draw the pages
and take them to the Chinatown library to meet with the community organizer, Loni Ding to give her my drawings. This
book was originally conceived as a coloring book. When it was printed up, I took my 50 black and white copies and went home and colored them in with my oil pastels….I found the oil pastel colors were brighter then crayons. Years later, I rediscovered my
hand colored copy in 2015 and re printed it; voila a 2nd edition!
