Amanda Gets A Watermelon

Mark Dahle Portfolios can be read in a few minutes and then enjoyed for a lifetime. Thought-provoking and beautiful, they feature an unusual combination of compelling photographs, brilliant paintings and deceptively simple text.

This portfolio includes:
* a beautiful abstract painting
* twenty-four outstanding photos from Detroit, MI
* a story about a girl who wanted a miracle but got a watermelon instead

From the book:
Amanda sat beside her grandmother at the breakfast table. "I saw you last night," she said.
. . . "After I went to bed."

Her grandmother didn't say anything. She had been pulling pumpkins out of the air and putting them back, just for practice.
