It has been observed
that a lot of stuff tends to lie downstream of culture. Well, here is one way to improve the culture of Christmas, and hopefully mitigate the legacy of one Clement Clarke Moore.
If you are looking for a fresh angle on the Christmas story or for new pageant ideas, this is a sweet, delightful, imaginative story that is fun to read aloud.
Ideas:
1. Check out the good reviews, and order copies early for your Sunday school teachers, educators, pageant planners. Here, under "
From the Author," is a bit of background.
2. Order two readers' copies to break it into voices for a dramatic reading at Christmas.
3. Design costumes for one pastor (narrator), a lead llama (Gregory), St. Francis, Noah, a camel, reindeer, a donkey, cows, sheep, any number of other animals (lions, peacocks, monkeys), ... and of course, plenty of extra llamas.
4. Make sure to get
a copy of the e-book so you can project the lovely illustrations for the congregation.
5. Schedule a fireside reading at home with the family or for a fellowship night
.
6. Consider sending a copy to your families with children, or letting a copy serve as your Christmas card to the congregation.
7. Visit A Phenomenal Llama on FB, give it a Like, or better yet: "Share."
8. Post a review on Amazon or your favorite online bookstore or book review site.
9. Spread the word to neighboring churches, pastors, parents, and friends.
10. Ask for your local bookstore to carry it.
Time to get a jump on Christmas.
I hope you, you family, and your families of faith enjoy A Phenomenal Llama.
