Lorinda, a New Children's Book by Shirley Collins, Released by Dorrance Publishing

Every night, a little girl is transported into the world inside her painting in this delightful children's book.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (PRWEB) November 13, 2009 -- Lorinda, a new children's book by Shirley Collins, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Lorinda, a young artist, dreams of traveling to faraway places. But are they dreams? Every night Lorinda blinks her eyes and is whisked away to the middle of her paintings. From colouring the rainbow with her fairy friends to eating cheese sandwiches with the man in the moon, Lorinda explores the reaches of her imagination and takes you and your child along with her. It's up to the reader to decide if it's really a dream.

Shirley Collins, from South Africa, found the inspiration for Lorinda in her grandchildren and their love of painting and drawing pictures. "My eldest granddaughter, on whom I based the book, has a great imagination," she says.

Lorinda is a 54-page paperback with a retail price of $8.00. The ISBN is 978-1-4349-0293-1. It was published by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc. of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
