West Chester, PA Author Publishes Children's Book

"We Call Him Mr. Heinrich", a new book by Barby Pell, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Author Barby announces the release of her charming new debut, "We Call Him Mr. Heinrich," a heartwarming tale designed to delight readers of all ages. Through the eyes of a spunky, long-bodied Dachshund, the story tackles the universal themes of self-esteem, comparison, and the discovery of one's unique worth.

Mr. Heinrich is a confident pup-at least until he finds himself outside his familiar surroundings. In a moment of "bleak discovery," he realizes his body shape is quite different from other dogs, causing his self-assurance to plummet. However, when an urgent emergency strikes, Mr. Heinrich is called into action.

Through a fast-paced rescue, he learns a life-changing lesson: his "odd" shape was designed for a very specific reason. The story serves as a gentle reminder that we are all crafted differently, both inside and out, for our own special purposes.

About the Author
Based in West Chester, Pennsylvania, Barby is a devoted mother and grandmother whose lifelong love for animals inspired this tale. Her history with the Dachshund breed runs deep, dating back to her childhood when her family's dog, Becky, raised three litters of puppies.

The character of Mr. Heinrich was born from a moment of pure inspiration; while traveling, the spunky protagonist "jumped out of her heart" and onto a hotel notepad. Combining her passion for the innocence of childhood with a love for storytelling, Barby has created a character that resonates with anyone who has ever felt like they didn't quite fit the mold.

"We Call Him Mr. Heinrich" is a 36-page hardcover with a retail price of $34.00 (eBook $29.00). The ISBN is 979-8-89127-569-0. Published by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc. of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
