"The
best program I've seen in 30 years," said one teacher. "You could have
heard a pin drop!" said another about Michael Dooling's History through
Picture Books school visit. Michael has visited over 800 schools
nationwide, illustrated over 50 books and authored two.
"... belongs
in every library," said a review in School Library Journal about Young
Thomas Edison, written and illustrated by Michael. Edison was chosen
for Maryland State's Black-eyed Susan Picture Book List. "It is
literature of this quality that instills a love of history in a
child ... exquisite!" said a review in Treetop Learning. Other books by
Michael include Lewis and Clark and Me: A Dog's Tale by Laurie Myers
that was nominated for fifteen awards, received the Pennsylvania Young
Readers Choice Award, and the Cocheco Reader's Award. He has
illustrated books on Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Ellis Island,
fossils, frontier life, pilgrims and much more.
