At the age of 19, Connie married her high school sweetheart Frank D. Morrison, a professional dancer. In 1999 Frank & Connie started their online art gallery, Morrison Graphics, which opened as a physical gallery in 2005 in the Old Fourth Ward of Atlanta, GA.  Frank painted and illustrated, while Connie continued to take care of the business, their home, and  their children, while writing children’s books in her spare time. Her debut Bloomsbury Press title, I Got The Rhythm, is her first collaboration with husband and illustrator, Frank Morrison. The book is a rhythmic, soulful affirmation that a dream can become a reality, a belief that Connie has seen play out in her own life.]]> 2021-04-26 22:47:31 UTC https://padlet.com/tta41/i8ecbochiarul5x2/wish/1461891954 Genre of Work dee31 https://padlet.com/tta41/i8ecbochiarul5x2/wish/1461894881 Children's Literature and Picture Books]]> 2021-04-26 22:49:12 UTC https://padlet.com/tta41/i8ecbochiarul5x2/wish/1461894881 Awards Won tta41 https://padlet.com/tta41/i8ecbochiarul5x2/wish/1461895222

The little girl hears a rhythm coming from the world around her— from butterflies, to street performers, to ice cream sellers everything is musical! She sniffs, snaps, and shakes her way into the heart of the beat, finally busting out in an impromptu dance, which all the kids join in on!]]> 2021-04-26 22:50:57 UTC https://padlet.com/tta41/i8ecbochiarul5x2/wish/1461897703 I got the School Spirit dee31 https://padlet.com/tta41/i8ecbochiarul5x2/wish/1461898050 Summer is over, and this little girl has got the school spirit!

BLING! She spreads the spirit of giving wherever she goes. And when she reaches Santa, she tells him her Christmas wish--for peace and love everywhere, all the days of the year.]]> 2021-04-26 22:51:18 UTC https://padlet.com/tta41/i8ecbochiarul5x2/wish/1461898631 cgh51 https://padlet.com/tta41/i8ecbochiarul5x2/wish/1461905286 2021-04-26 22:54:45 UTC https://padlet.com/tta41/i8ecbochiarul5x2/wish/1461905286 tta41 https://padlet.com/tta41/i8ecbochiarul5x2/wish/1461919937 2021-04-26 23:03:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tta41/i8ecbochiarul5x2/wish/1461919937
