Maitland, FL — A Camel’s Story - a Search for the Messiah ($14.99, paperback, 9781612158204; $24.99, hardcover, 9781612158211) is an interactive picture story for all ages. Author Sandy Hanson invites you to travel with Xavier, the main character in A Camel Story trilogy. The first book in the series, “A CAMEL’S STORY, A Search for the Messiah” was just released. The Magi’s search for the “new King” is told by his camel, Xavier, who is more than just a little spoiled. The camel’s perspective and personality are captured within the art pages of this classic Christian allegory making it fun and adding new dimension to the age old story.
When Xavier was chosen as the pack animal he was not happy. After all, he was his master’s favorite racing camel not a “common mule”! He didn’t give a “camel’s whine” about any old star! You will laugh and cry with Xavier as you relate to his doubts and frustrations during the search as well as the dilemma he faces at the journey’s end. The Camel’s stories are timeless treasure. Xavier’s journeys mirror our own journeys in life: ones filled with adventure, problems, and questions. Hanson hopes that readers will be sparked to search the scriptures and history for truth concerning Jesus Christ and come away convinced that He truly is their Messiah, and Lord. She hopes these stories will be used to pass the foundation of our Christian heritage to our children and to the world.
When author, Sandy Hanson, met Jesus she felt brand new. Hanson started doing puppet ministry with her church and the stories were born. The books grow with a child as they can be read on many different levels. The author intertwines facts and Biblical truths in optional reading beneath each story scroll. Artist, Kristi Delage, skillfully captures the drama of each scene on full color art pages with her water-color pencils.
