New Coloring and Trivia Book - Magic of the Mississippi - Highlights the Sites of America’s Greatest River

Author Robert Turek recently announced the release of his latest book, Magic of the Mississippi, a coloring and trivia book dedicated to America’s Greatest River, available now on Amazon.

Magic of the Mississippi brings the sights of the Mississippi River home. From historic river towns along the river, to incredible structures built for transporting our nation's bounty. Through hand illustrated coloring pages, the magic of the Mississippi River comes alive. Created for all ages to discover the beauty and importance of America’s Greatest River.

The mighty Mississippi abounds with history, which Magic of the Mississippi captures through detailed illustrations. Over 20 single sided coloring pages are included, as well as trivia facts to learn more about the Mississippi River.

“My hope is this book will encourage others to envision the Mississippi as more than a river; it’s a place of great importance to our country. My love of conservation and preserving history is captured in the pages of this book so as to inspire others to love the Mississippi as much as I do,” notes Turek.

Detailed coloring and trivia pages feature historic river cities, including:

  •  Minneapolis, Minnesota
  •  Nauvoo, Illinois
  •  Hannibal, Missouri
  •  St. Louis, Missouri
  •  Memphis, Tennessee
  •  New Orleans, Louisiana

More information, along with a free coloring page, can be found on Facebook. Plans are underway to stock the book in retail stores throughout the region.
