Guest on Red River Radio – A Story is A Good Story

Last night I had the pleasure of being a special guest on the Red River Radio program, A Story is A Good Story, on Blog Talk Radio. Hosts Marsha Cook, Freda Roberts, and Virginia Grenier led an excellent conversation about virtual book tours that I participated in for approximately an hour. We also chatted for a few minutes about Little Shepherd, my first children’s picture book that was released by Guardian Angel Publishing in August.

Early Reviews of Little Shepherd

“Little Shepherd by Cheryl C. Malandrinos is a fresh rendition of the familiar story of the angels appearing to the shepherds in the field and announcing the birth of the Savior. The unique slant to this particular retelling of the scriptural story is that the reader sees the event through the eyes of a little shepherd boy, tending his first-ever flock of sheep. As a grandmother, I would be delighted to read this story to my grandchildren. As such, I recommend it to parents/grandparents/teachers everywhere who wish to bring this passage of scripture to life for impressionable young hearts to understand”.

“Heartstrings will be tugged as readers journey to the manger with a little shepherd boy. Obed’s father entrusted him with his first flock of sheep. Everything seems to be going perfect until angels fill the sky with an unusual request. Obed’s gripping tale promises to inspire and become a family favorite.”
