Thank you for sharing this.  I just finished reading the book and creating a mural with my students in K-3.  

I used this resource from the National Gallery of Art, which was shared in the fall.

https://www.nga.gov/learn/teachers/lessons-activities/pre-k/alma-thomas.html

I've attached a picture of the mural my students created.  I had each student create 4 3x3 Alma-inspred squares, then I put them on 

larger 6 1/2x 6 1/2 squares and laminated them together to create the mural.  It came out great and I love how it looks in the library.
