Weekly beauty: Shelly Hehenberger

Recently, I stumbled upon a children's book called Jesus, the Word, written by Marc Francisco Bozzuti-Jones and illustrated by Shelly Hehenberger. It happened to be on clearance at Augsburg Fortress, so I bought it for my niece.

See how beautifully illustrated it is? It's captivating. (Click the photos to enlarge.)











Shelly Hehenberger has illustrated (and written) other children's books, which can be found on Amazon or on her website. She also works in other media. Check it out.
