CHILDRENS’ BOOK AUTHOR AND ILLUSTRATOR, CAROL HEYER, RETURNS TO THE BOOKWORM BY POPULAR DEMAND!  LAST CHRISTMAS, MRS. FIGS’ BOOKWORM SOLD 185 COPIES OF HEYER’S PICTURE BOOK “HUMPHREY’S FIRST CHRISTMAS,” THE STORY OF A LOVABLE CAMEL THAT OFFERS HIS BELOVED GIFT TO BABY JESUS.  ON DECMEBER 3, 2011, HEYER WILL LAUNCH HER NEWEST PICTURE BOOK, “THE LITTLE SHEPHERD’S CHRISTMAS.”

REVIEW:   "CAROL HEYER’S BOOKS RISE ABOVE THE REST WITH HER LUSH ATTENTION TO DETAIL, BOTH IN HER ILLUSTRATIONS AND WORDS.  LITTLE SHEPHERD’S CHRISTMAS IS REVERENT AND WARM, HOWEVER PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS WILL CELEBRATE THAT IT’S NOT JUST ANOTHER ACCOUNTING OF THE FIRST CHRISTMAS.  BOYS AND ACTIVE GIRLS, ESPECIALLY, WILL IDENTIFY WITH THIS YOUNG SHEPHERD’S NEED TO PROVE THAT HIS NAME, REUEL, DOES NOT MEAN “TINY GRAY MOUSE THAT FOLLOWS HIS BROTHERS EVERYWHERE.”  THERE’S ADVENTURE AND ACTION, TOO, AND THE STORY’S HEARTWARMING CONCLUSION BRINGS REUEL TO BABY JESUS’ SIDE AT THE MANGER – AND AN UNEXPECTED ANSWER TO HIS QUEST.  PERFECT FOR ENGAGING THE ATTENTION OF EVEN THE WIGGLIEST OF LISTENERS."
