Luella’S Christmas Surprise

By Nancy Gaenzle and Paul Bush

Luella and her neighbor Mr. Santos love to meet at Henrys pond to feed their duck friends and visit about the happenings of the day.

The Christmas holiday has arrived. Change is in the air. The ducks will be flying to warmer places. Mr. Santos will be away on vacation. Luella will discover a special surprise about a special someone.

Luellas Christmas Surprise is the second book in the Luella books series.

The Luella Books are wholesome and family oriented. They were written especially for children in the primary grades. Parents and grandparents will enjoy reading these books to their children!

Ann Vogt, school teacher

After reading the first four books in the Luella Books series, I enthusiastically recommend them for children and their parents! Ms. Gaenzles writing style reflects both her love for children and her appreciation of those small but important childhood experiences. The books also encourage a love and appreciation of nature and wildlife - especially for our feathered friends. Enjoy!

Nancy Gaenzle

Author Nancy Gaenzle was born and raised in a small town in southern Idaho on the Camas Prairie. Her love for wildlife comes from her grandmother Mary Gaenzle who had a special fondness for birds. Nancy, a retired schoolteacher, has one daughter, Marta, and one granddaughter, Luella. The Luella book series is named after her granddaughter. The characters in her stories are named after actual family members to honor their positive influence on her life. Illustrator Paul Bush, originally from Detroit, grew up in Idaho as a child of two engineers. He too had his sights set on a career in engineering but decided calculus wasn’t nearly as fun as drawing. Paul attended Utah State University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in art with an emphasis in illustration. While Paul is new to illustrating children’s storybooks, he has been creating illustrations and animations for the health-care information industry for years, including education geared toward children. His work has been recognized and awarded in the industry.
