Dream Help
From the time I was a college student, I wanted to write stories for young readers. I have loved children's literature for as long as I can remember. I wanted to write stories that would provide some teaching moments as well as present fun experiences. Using cats seemed the avenue to do just that because I have known many cats well over the 50 years of living with them. I could not accomplish my dream alone! My dream finally came true after retirement and receiving much needed support from my husband and friends. Little Honker has a dream of starting his own band and does it with the help of his girls in Swinging Tails. In Backyard Adventures, he dreams of being able to swim in a floater but needs help from the ducklings. Most of us can not accomplish a dream without a little assistance.
Book Excerpt
Little Honker's Backyard Adventures
Chapter Five
“Help me!” he honked as loudly as he could while gasping for air.
The ducklings started firing questions in Warren’s direction.
“What’s wrong, Warren?”
“Why can’t you get back in your floater?”
“Can’t you just swim to the edge and get out?”
And then one of the ducklings said, “You really are not very good at this swimming thing.”
“Help me!” Warren honked again. “I can’t (gasp) swim (gasp).” Warren was moving in the direction of the edge, but he kept going under the water. Every time his head popped out of the water, he gasped for air.
All four ducklings came paddling as fast as their little legs would let them. Instinct set in and the ducklings went into action.
“Hold on, Warren. We’ll help you swim to the side so you can get out.”
