We are excited to welcome author, George Woodard, to Bear Pond Books promoting his book, "The Christmas Calf".About the Book:
With a small herd of cows to milk every day, Vermont dairy farmer, George Woodard has squeezed in directing, shooting, and editing two farm-related critically acclaimed feature films. The Summer of Walter Hacks, a mystery adventure where an eleven year old fiddle-playing farm boy in1952 rides around town on his bicycle fixing farm equipment. And The Farm Boy, a WWII era love
story about a young man who drives milk truck for his father and later ends up in Belgium in what would become the Battle of the Bulge. Both films are in black and white using camera techniques of those time periods.
And now George has released his first children’s book, The Christmas Calf. Illustrated in black and white, he has used his filmmaking knowledge of shot lists and story boards combined with his farm experiences to create a heart-warming story that all farmers will recognize. It is a children’s book for ages eight to eighty and beyond. With over sixty pen and ink drawings, the story is about a nine-year old boy who goes to the barn on a cold winter night to check a cow expecting a calf…and it’s on Christmas Eve. A whimsical tale of wonder and delight, The Christmas Calf invites you to be part of something truly magical.
