Story Behind The Book

When my daughters were only toddlers, I would sing "The Little Drummer Boy" to them and feel called to write the story of a shepherd who met Jesus on the night of His birth. Though the original idea was not a children's story, after speaking with our pastor, Little Shepherd became the tale of the night Obed visited the newborn King despite being afraid to leave his flock unattended.

Toss those thoughts away and immerse yourself and your children into the magical arrival of Christ the Lord. Children’s author, Cheryl C. Malandrinos has re-explored and created a beautiful re-enactment of Christ the Lord’s birth in a unique and awe inspiring rendition which surely will become classical reading in Christian religious school studies and home libraries. <br /><br />The old time illustrations expertly created by illustrator, Eugene Ruble will leave you feeling that you journeyed through the countryside with Obed and his fellow shepherds.”</span></p><p></p> <p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:Verdana, 'sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">--Donna McDine, award-winning author of <em>The Golden Pathway</em></span></strong></p><p></p>
