Fip's Magical World of Color

Susan Carlson Scott was born in Jamestown, New York. As a graduate of Fredonia State College, Buffalo State College, and Marshall University, she has earned degrees as an artist and teacher. While working in St. Louis, Missouri as a pre-school/art teacher, Ms. Scott developed a series of short stories. Fip's Magical World of Color teaches children the properties of primary and secondary color mixing. The primary motivation behind the Fip stories was described by the author: ÒAs a pre-school teacher, I found very limited written resources that dealt with color mixing on a creative and interesting level. I sat down one day and decided to write and illustrate stories that encompassed what I had been looking for. "I wanted young school-aged children to find color mixing exciting and magical. By injecting a main character that becomes somewhat of a "fairy godmother" over the other characters, she not only teaches the properties of color mixing, but is able to teach characteristics of humanity. With help from Fip, the characters learn valuable lessons about love, friendship, respect, and acceptance." Ms. Scott resides with her husband in Ohio, where she continues her craft as a painter, textile artist, and author.Scott, Susan Carlson is the author of 'Fip's Magical World of Color', published 2003 under ISBN 9781887932943 and ISBN 1887932941.
