Children’s Author, Erma Dilbeck Mize has announced her second book is out – just in time for Christmas! The title is Ermadilla Goes to Bethlehem – as the title suggests, it is a Christmas story. She is quick to add “the real Christmas story!“
Local artist, Bill Wells, is again the illustrator. His talent will be enjoyed as the reader follows Ermadilla along on her way to Bethlehem. Polk County residents may even recognize some of the carolers singing on a street corner!
This is an excellent Christmas story to be read time and again. Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and everyone who has a child they know and love will want to make this book a part of their child’s library. The book is available in both soft cover and hard cover.
Presently there are three book signings scheduled: Friday morning, December 12th at 10:00 a.m. – the Polk County Library. Friday evening, December 12th at 5:30 p.m. at Papa’s Mexican Restaurant. On Saturday, December 13th, Wal-Mart from 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. There will be more announcements.
The book is available on LifeWay.com, amazon.com. and barnesandnoble.com,. Other sites to visit: Ermadilla page on Face Book, managed by the author’s daughter, Vicki McCoy, and website Ermadilla.com, managed by nephew, Terry Bitterlich.
