THE FIRST CHRISTMAS
Written and Illustrated by Carol Heyer
"The illustrations are stunning. In a word: reverent. The bold colors cause the light in the pictures to bound off the pages. With every turn of the page, I caught my breath as another piercing illustration caused a reverie. What's even more impressive is the text is clean, and simple, and serves as a faithful backdrop for the pictures..."

A CHRISTMAS CAROL
Retold by Pamela Kennedy
Illustrated by Carol Heyer
"... It is Heyer's accomplished art that justifies yet another version of this classic. These impressively realistic acrylic paintings... are richly hued and filled with Victorian detail. Heyer effectively depicts such scenes as the horrified Scrooge eating his thin gruel as the chain-dragging ghost of Jacob Marley appears, and the transformed, ebullient Scrooge, a sprig of holly tucked into his hatband announcing to Cratchit on the day after Christmas, "I'll not only pay you more, but I'll help your family...'''

THE EASTER STORY
Written and Illustrated by Carol Heyer
"Heyer presents a workmanlike compression of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus into a standard picture book format. Her vividly colored paintings are the book's best aspect, although Heyer interestingly chooses not to portray Jesus's face. THE EASTER STORY can serve as a creditable catalyst for family discussions regarding the true meaning behind this important celebration."
