A number of years ago I did an author visit at Mission Avenue Elementary School in Sacramento and saw this wonderful mural of one of the giant Easter Island statues called
moai. It was made by the sixth graders after they read my book
Easter Island: Giant Stone Statues Tell of a Rich and Tragic Past. After making a grid pattern on a small photographic image of the
moai, each student colored one piece of 9" x 12" paper with the
corresponding shapes and colors. When assembled on the wall, the mural depicted one of the
moai close to actual size and made an impressive image for everyone in the school to see.
Easter Island is out of print but new and used copies are available on Amazon. You may also be able to find it in your library.
