In An Extraordinarily Enchanted Birthday, the first children's picture book in the Meet the Artists series, Professor Stork gifts children with colorful, imaginative paintings of wonderful animals by North Carolina artist Patricia Wilson. The Professor believes one great way for children to learn about cultures and lifestyles is to view them through the eyes of working artists. During a celebratory birthday visit to an art gallery with her father, Evy Loe puts on a pair of magical glasses that bring Wilson's paintings to life. Each vividly painted animal shares an important lesson about life on a farm with Evy Loe. Imaginative storytelling by Professor Stork and colorful illustrations by Len Peralta combine with Wilson's paintings to create an exciting and educational adventure for children. Professor Stork is a former elementary school teacher in public education, with advanced degrees in education and psychology.
