While out on a hike on the Old Indian Trail in the Sleeping Bear National Lake¬shore, Charlotte Davis had the inspiration to produce a coloring book. The drawings began in February, while she kept close to the wood stove to stay warm and hunkered down to bring her dream to fruition. Fast forward to the present.
