South Grade teacher, Rebecca Hinson, receives Grant

After 10 years and 36 books, Lake Worth teacher, author gets book project grant

"Florida International University has received a $2 million grant — $9,300 for Hinson — from the U.S. Department of Education Title VI NRC that will help the teacher expand her proposed book series for grades 3-8 that will explore six cultures of South America through authentic art."

As Rebecca says,

"I just finished my fourth book for my South America art series for children. Three more to go. Books 4, 5, & 6 will be Machu Picchu (Peru), Gauchos of Argentina, and headdresses of the indigenous tribes of Brazil.

My other series are Art of the United States of America, Art of the Caribbean, and Art of Central America.

If you want to see what a culture loves most, just look at their art. Art reveals the soul of a nation."
