Amanda Gets a Watermelon

Mark Dahle Portfolios can be read in a few minutes and then enjoyed for a lifetime. Thought-provoking and beautiful, they feature an unusual combination of compelling photographs, brilliant paintings and deceptively simple text. This portfolio includes: * a beautiful abstract painting * twenty-four outstanding photos from Detroit, MI * a story about a girl who wanted a miracle but got a watermelon instead From the book: Amanda sat beside her grandmother at the breakfast table. "I saw you last night," she said. . . . "After I went to bed." Her grandmother didn't say anything. She had been pulling pumpkins out of the air and putting them back, just for practice.
