“Sometimes, God’s miracles come in small steps. Sometimes those small steps turn into big miracles.” Mary Fenstermacher, My Soul Doth Magnify the Lord.

DIXFIELD/RUMFORD- Mary Wisham Fenstermacher has done it again, she has written an award winning children’s book, Pablo Visits the Ocean, that follows her first book, Pablo Visits the Desert, as well as a collection of devotionals and inspirational poems, My Soul Doth Magnify the Lord. She has also added an audio CD of her Pablo books and Pablo and his friend, Franco the flamingo, in plush stuffy form for children to snuggle.

“A penguin is black with a tummy of white. Some live in a land of cold, snow, and ice; But, I am a penguin, the warm weather kind, In warm lands like this, my type you may find.”

Children are sure to delight in the adventures of Pablo and his friend Franco. In this most recent story, the two head out on a road trip from Nevada to Maine to visit the coast with their trainer, Stephanie.

Upon arriving at the coast, the two learn about life on the coast, and even venture off with some children to learn about local wildlife and lighthouses. All the while, finding a little misadventure along the way.

You will also want to get your copy of My Soul Doth Magnify the Lord, as its inspirational poems and scripture references are sure to lighten your spirit.

Fenstermacher remarks in her book, “Miracles still happen. Writing has always been one of my favorite subjects. As early as second grade, I can remember writing articles for the school newspaper.” She continues, “College, marriage, the teaching job, children; came in quick succession. There was little down time to sit and write for pleasure, let alone write a book, until 1986. That was the first step of my miracle, although I didn’t know it yet.”

Poems like Snow Crystals, Autumn Song and Love Come Down from Heaven will help you transport yourself into her writings. You will be in the middle of your own visionary escape.

You can purchase all of Fenstermacher’s books, her CD and the plush toys at Bartash in Rumford, or email mwfenstermacher@msn.com with “Pablo” in the subject line to order your gift set.
