"While Shepherds Washed Their Flocks" is a delightful collection of kid-size quotable quotes gathered from parents, grandparents, teachers, and neighbors around the country. Like all children, the ones quoted here are honest (sometimes painfully so), verbally courageous (or is that outrageous), wildly imaginative, and very funny indeed. Humorist Liz Curtis Higgs, author of ten books of humor and encouragement for both adults and children, includes stories form her own heart (and funny bone), colorfully illustrated with the whimsical artistry of Dennis Hill. Together they offer a fresh look at the world through the eyes of a child.

More About the Author
Liz Curtis Higgs has been telling tales since she attempted her first novel--handwritten in a marble notebook--at the tender age of ten. Award-winning careers in radio broadcasting, public speaking, nonfiction writing, and children's books honed Liz's storytelling talents, bringing her back to her first love, storytelling.
She is the author of 28 books, with more than 3 million copies in print, including two contemporary novels, one novella, and six historical novels, among them her latest Scottish saga, Here Burns My Candle and Mine Is the Night, a New York Times bestseller.
Her popular nonfiction books include the Bad Girls of the Bible series of books, workbooks, and DVDs, with more than one million copies in print.
And she has written five books for young children, including perennial favorite, The Pumpkin Patch Parable.
Her children's Parable Series received an ECPA Gold Medallion for Excellence, her nonfiction book Embrace Grace won a Retailers Choice Award, and her novel Whence Came a Prince received a Christy Award for Best Historical Novel. Liz was an award-winning columnist for Today's Christian Woman for a decade. Her articles have also appeared in Faith&Friends (Canada), WomanAlive (Great Britian), and Enhance (Australia). More than 4,500 churches nationwide are using her video Bible study series, Loved by God.
A gifted professional speaker, Liz has presented more than 1,600 inspirational programs for audiences in all fifty United States and fourteen foreign countries. When the National Speakers Association honored her with the Council of Peers Award for Excellence, Liz became one of only 32 women in the world named to their CPAE-Speaker Hall of Fame.
Feature articles about Liz have appeared in more than 250 major newspapers and magazines, as well as on Salon.com, Beliefnet.com, and Spirituality.com.
