United Kingdom - As a renowned artist in and around the Edinburgh area, Cheryl Morrice has already captivated thousands with her canvas acrylic paintings that capture the life of Scotland. But that’s not the only creative string to her bow; Morrice is about to also storm the children’s book scene with gusto. Her debut release is the self-illustrated ’The Wee Coo Who Flew’, a whimsical yet incredibly-empowering adventure alongside one Highland Cow who won’t take no for an answer when it comes to achieving his dreams. Synopsis: The Wee Coo Who Flew is a Scottish book based in Edinburgh and is a rhyme about a wee Highland Cow with big dreams. He chose not to listen to friends who said what he dreamed couldn’t possibly be done and with persistence, he achieved his dream. This is a motivational book for young minds to believe they can think big and achieve their dreams. Children in Scotland will enjoy this book with its vibrant colours and local places they can identify. "I have always worked as a nurse and painted on the side. However, my true burning desire has been to paint and write full-time. I’m now pursuing that transition to making my lifelong dream a reality, and I want youngsters to realize that they too can achieve absolutely anything they want to," explains Morrice. "All it takes is sheer determination, grit and the ability to block out the negativity they’ll naturally encounter from others." Continuing, "This book is very much an extension of the philosophy I apply to my painting - local stories, simple messages yet packed full of inspiration. Local kids will be able to identify with many of the places in the book and, if they ever pass a Highland Cow in the area, they may just be staring at our hero himself! Wherever a child is from and whatever their dreams are, this book will help them live life to the fullest." With the volume expected to be in high demand, interested readers are urged to secure their copies as soon as possible after launch. follow the journery online. www.sunflowerartscotland.com www.facebook.com/sunflowerartscotland
