Yorkies save the day!
"A Christmas tale of near disaster, and a
spirited response from the people and dogs
of York, 'The St. Nicholas Yorkies: Saving
Christmas Day' will delight anyone who has
ever known a dog, or a reindeer, or a cat."
Macon architect Russell Claxton has
been drawing since he was a child. He and
his wife Natalie have started a new company,
Blue Igloo Books, and have recently published
his first book of verse and drawings, "The St.
Nicholas Yorkies: Saving Christmas Day."
"The drawing I knew would be
expressive and delightful. The verse is just
as good and honestly a surprise," said Natalie
Claxton. Russell's talent is "a gift hidden for
years making it more fun" for his wife to help
him in the publishing venture.
This children's book is truly lovely; the
drawings are expertly done with details and
frivolity sure to please all ages making it a
perfect gift for someone young or young at
heart.
It is available on Amazon or here in
Macon through blueigloobooks.com/
