About me:

"A Taste of Colored Water" Synopsis

You could blame Abbey Finch.

If she hadn't come back from town with tales of a fountain bubbling forth with "colored" water, LuLu and Jelly would not have needed to go see for themselves. But it's not Abbey's fault. It's the early 1960s and colored water isn't the fruit-flavored, Technicolor wonder that LuLu and Jelly are expecting. And having a drink doesn't come without a price.

Celebrated author/illustrator Matt Faulkner combines colloquial, down-home storytelling and timeless images of pastoral America to create a thought-provoking account of what happens when the naive and whimsical imagination of a child is confounded by the reality of intolerance.

Are you ready for a taste?

Matt grew up in a small town outside of Boston, Massachusetts. He was born in 1961 and went to Parmenter Elementary. From an early age Matt loved to draw. One of his first memories is being caught by his sister Stacey as he was drawing on his parents brand new kitchen table with a ball point pen. No paper, just table. Everybody was pretty mad until they saw the picture he was drawing. It was a fairly close likeness of the family's dog.

When he saw that his Dad liked the drawing and wasn't going to send him to his room for the rest of his life, Matt realized that drawing was a pretty handy skill. From that day on he started to practice drawing (on paper) everyday. Matt currently lives in Southeastern Michigan. He has a son named Gabe whose favorite subjects at school are math and science. Matt and Gabe like to play football. Gabe likes to draw, too ;-)....
