CHESAPEAKE BEACH, MD - The Chesapeake Mermaid, a well-known performer and environmentalist, has recently unveiled a captivating coloring book that celebrates the diverse wildlife and habitats of the Chesapeake Bay region, while also promoting sign language education.
The coloring book, titled Learning Nature, features over 100 stunning illustrations of local animals and plants, including crabs, oysters, and striped bass, each accompanied by their name using finger spelling. Angela Mitchell, an award-winning artist renowned for her work on projects such as The Last Bivalvian, The Giants of the Bay, and Century Island, collaborated with the Chesapeake Mermaid to create the vibrant artwork.

The Chesapeake Mermaid, who is deaf, wanted to create a valuable educational tool that raises awareness about local wildlife and habitats while also fostering an appreciation for sign language within the community.
The Chesapeake Mermaid explained her motivation behind the creation of the coloring book, stating, "I aimed to develop something that would be enjoyable to color while also providing educational value. By incorporating the finger-spelled names of each animal, I hope to inspire children and adults alike to delve deeper into sign language and recognize its significance in our society. Additionally, a few pages feature mermaids and magical creatures, including some new friends you might encounter during our shows."
Learning Nature has already garnered enthusiastic customer praise, with one satisfied reader, David Christie of Davidsonville, Maryland, stating, "If a picture is worth a thousand words, then Learning Nature is worth a million! This book not only provides names for local plants and animals you've likely seen but know little about but also introduces you to some unexpected local species. The inclusion of sign language promotes inclusivity and communication, serving as the icing on the cake!"
The printing company responsible for producing the coloring book was equally impressed with the outstanding quality of the publication. They expressed their admiration by requesting permission to include Learning Nature in their sample kit for prospective customers. Laura, an employee at the print shop, conveyed their excitement, saying, "[We need] projects like yours to send out as samples. Your art quality has truly stood out to us!"
