Alma’s Dream

By Obiora N Anekwe

Alma’s Dream translates through images and words the artistic journey of Alma Woodsey Thomas (1891–1978). Born in Columbus, Georgia, Thomas rose to fame as a prolific abstract artist after retiring from teaching art in the public school system. Her success later in life serves as an example to others that professional accolades can happen at any moment in one’s existence. This book was written for young readers ages three and older. The Alma Thomas story is an example of holding fast to one’s dream until the vision is realized.
