Mixing equal parts English and art, along with a whole lotta love, has led to the creation of a new children's book for two sisters.

Monmouth College alumni Mary Ann Galusha Eiserman '72 and Cherry Lynn Galusha Simmons '80 - who've retired from careers teaching English and art, respectively - will return to campus to celebrate the publication of their book at 6:30 p.m. March 18 in the Pattee Auditorium on the lower level of the college's Center for Science and Business.

Sponsored by the college's art and education programs and free and open to the public, the event will include a reception and a talk by the sisters about their book, titled I Love You All the Time, So Much Love, All the Time!!

Available on eBay, the book encourages emotional awareness, empathy and positive values in a warm and comforting way to which young readers can easily relate.
