Hurry, Scurry, But Do Not Worry!

Hurry, Scurry, But Do Not Worry! tells the story of a mouse infestation at a local church that leads to an evening of hilarious chaos before a young acolyte saves the day for bishop and congregation alike. Delightfully illustrated, this book is a fantastic and funny read and provides great prompts for conversations about life, love, and faith.

Hurry, Scurry, But Do Not Worry! is Carol Smith Hathaway’s first published book. Carol has been writing for as long as she can remember, having won an essay contest when she was very young. Retired and living in Atlanta with her husband Alden, Carol can now focus her time on writing faith-based stories for her children and grandchildren. Just recently, she decided to listen to her closest family members and friends and share her stories with you and your families.

Hurry, Scurry But Do Not Worry! is a light-hearted story for maturing worshippers. It opens the sometimes imposing doors of the church to illuminate the liturgical language of the people, practices, and place of worship. It allows the reader to grow in understanding of sacred space with a smile.

As an advertising executive, I appreciate how well the story is told. As a mother, I appreciate that the rhyme is catchy but complex enough to keep my children interested and engaged while the story unfolds. Most importantly, as a Christian, I appreciate the reminder that we are called to treat all of God’s creatures well.
