A local artist, Dave Poulin, made this life size bronze sculpture for a local school a couple blocks from my home. I just had to go check it out and thought you would enjoy it too.
Click to enlarge to read the book's title.
The sculpture is in a memory garden to honor 3 teachers from the school.
It has taken 3 years to complete the project but in my mind it was certainly worth it!
I'm sure it will be even more beautiful in a few years as it ages and gets a natural patina.
We have other sculptures in our community by Mr. Poulin. I'll have to get some pictures and post the others for you. If you visit his web site you will see that he has these beautiful sculptures all over the country.(click on his name above)

What a wonderful memorial!
I was just speaking to my Mama the other day and remembering my favorite teacher that read aloud to the class...the "Little House" series...I'll never forget it!

A truly beautiful sculpture. So fitting for a school. What a wonderful memorial.
I just love this sculpture and the message it conveys. He truly is a gifted artist.

What were the teachers being honored for? I do like the sculpture.
Great sculpture! I really like the way it incoporates the bench too.
And - what a sweet granddaughter!
