Baron Siamanto Levon, an extraordinaire artist & designer, gifted me with a wonderful painting we named "Butterflies & Horses". It was done by him, his wife Heather and their creative children, Dalita, Siamanto and Lilit. Created in mixed media of watercolors, oils and textiles. We incorporated his beautiful painting on the Back Cover! Thank you Levon!

"Angela, What an inspiration! You have touched the lives of many through poetry and song. Your words promotes thought and just how sometimes we take life for granted. One of the greatest gifts that we can give is love, leadership, and leaving an imprint that speaks positive. It truly does not matter where we originate, we all have a bond with mankind. That bond originates in the blood from the beginning of time. Beauty is natural. It is nature just like a jewel. It is precious as a diamond in the rough. Well done! I think it is great for you to share your wonderful talents with the world. The music, illustrations, and poetry are awesome and well put together. You did a terrific job! --Tanya Dubose, Broward School Teacher Richard Brookens on Soprano Saxophone with Spirit Ensemble at Mizner Park, Boca Raton, FL. "What a great project! JEWELS is a gem of an opportunity for kids to explore and learn on so many levels: visual, aural, and tactile. I'm quite impressed!!!"
