LEWISTON — Children’s book author Paul Baribault has added three new titles, improvisations on some of Hans Christian Andersen’s most famous stories. “The Ugly Duckling,” “The Nightingale” and “The Emperor’s New Clothes.”
The books, all composed as bedtime stories and as classroom read-alouds or for reader’s theater, can be found on his website, linked to Amazon books.
Each story has new scenes, new characters, and more playfulness with fantasy and rhyming – with the last also having a more uplifting ending than the original, including the addition of undershorts for the emperor’s parade to make it more child friendly.
Each is available as a Kindle e-reader and, now, as a printed paperback shipped by Amazon books.
A synopsis of each new book is viewable at www.Sleepyheadbooks.com, Sleepyheadbooks also has a section under construction, “Helping Shirts,” where proceeds from T-shirts imprinted with illustrations from the featured book, “Sleepyheads–Telling Dreams,” will go to St. Jude’s Children Hospital and Shriner’s Hospital for Children.
The cover illustrations for the books are all by local artists, including Hallowell’s Christopher Cart, who has done portraits of Maine Supreme Court justices and whose large outdoor mural is displayed opposite the post office building in Brunswick.
