We Call Him Mr. Heinrich is an adorable, encouraging story that truly will delight readers of all ages. Meet this spunky little Dachshund, Mr. Heinrich, follow him through his highs and lows, and then to the hair-raising discovery of his own self-worth!

All readers can identify, in some way, with Mr. Heinrich because, although very sure of himself while in familiar surroundings, there comes a bleak day when he discovers he has the oddest body shape any self-respecting dog could ever have. His self-esteem was still low when there came news of an urgent emergency. Mr. Heinrich was suddenly whisked up and rushed to the scene which was the day he learned he should never wish to look like any other dog. He learned to be happy about himself just as he was!

Mr. Heinrich’s wish is that his own story makes it easy to see why we are all made differently inside and out for our own special purposes!

About the Author

Barby’s greatest privilege was being the full-time mother of two sons and now the “Babs” of five grandchildren. Married, she lives in West Chester, Pennsylvania. As a girl, their family’s Dachshund, Becky, birthed three litters of puppies! She and her little sister, Gail, share happy memories of playing with them before leaving for their forever homes.

Barby’s first pet, a Dachshund, Frieda the Wonder Dog, and her two successors, each of a different breed and source, would race to perform their repertoire of tricks! Her endearment for the innocence of children and animals, with the desire to facilitate their happiness, and the love of reading and writing, brought precious Mr. Heinrich to life. And so it was, while out of town, that Mr. Heinrich unexpectedly jumped out of her heart and onto the paper of a hotel notepad.
