Amazing South Carolina: A Coloring Book Journey Through Our 46 Counties

by Laura Murray, Laura Murray (Illustrator)

Overview

Amazing South Carolina: A Coloring Book Journey Through Our 46 Counties is a delightful, one-of-a-kind book designed to engage youngsters and adult coloring book enthusiasts in learning about the unique character of our nation's eighth state. Every county in the state is represented in the book with an illustration of its iconic and lesser-known sites—historical, geographical, topographical, industrial, commercial, and more. A fun, comprehensive educational experience, Amazing South Carolina is a snapshot of all that is special about the Palmetto State. From the fast-growing foothills of the Upstate to the picturesque marshes of the Lowcountry and the lazy Edisto River meandering its way through the state; from big cities like Columbia and Greenville to the vibrant coastal communities of Charleston and Beaufort, South Carolina is as beautiful and historic as it is diverse. Amazing South Carolina highlights that diversity and celebrates some of Laura's favorite discoveries around the state.

About the Author

LAURA MURRAY has a Bachelor of Fine Arts in graphic design. After more than 15 years working in the corporate design world she has turned her attention to something she loves and has been doing for as long as she can remember — drawing. Her new book, Amazing Alabama, gives expression to her art and to her love of coloring books. Murray found inspiration for her book in the region that she calls home — on weekend trips around the state, poking around its many small towns, touring the local museums, and more. She has logged many miles in the making of her first coloring book, her sketchbook always with her. When not busy with her illustration work, Laura enjoys spending time with her husband, three children, and two pets at her home in Auburn, Alabama.
