Square greet Boston Marathon runners as they cross the finish line, McCloskey’s ‘Sal’s Bear’ graces Maine’s Botanical Gardens, as do Lentil and His Dog in Hamilton, Ohio. Each and every of them posed
unique challenges and Each and every generated original, unforgettable results. Here the point of interest is on her major public projects and commissions: how they came about, and who, and what, inspired them. And the book is hands on.

places and elected officials. Her story offers encouragement to any individual seeking to express themselves, whether artist, athlete,
dancer, musician or creator, for she demonstrates that drive and
determination (when coupled with an undeniable talent) can
overcome any roadblock and produce remarkable results.
