A Lesson from Little Honker
A milk jug playing skunk. A bongo playing polydactyl cat. Improvised instruments played by a variety of neighborhood cats. These things gave birth to a very unusual band. This band had a desire to play music. Unusual, yes. But they also had determination and the desire to perform not just for themselves, but for others. After the patio performance, they discovered they had an interested audience. I wanted to tell stories that I thought would entertain and teach. Follow your dreams (I did), present the unusual and inclusion. Hope for the best. I wanted this second career. Not only were the roads rocky, but there were boulders halting my progress. I believed my stories would accomplish what I wanted and many young readers became fans. Spreading the word is challenging, but like Little Honker, I won't give up!
Book Excerpt
Little Honker's Patriotic Paws
“I love these stories,” Kari said as she joined Kris in her room. “It’s a surprise every week.”
“Greenwood has discovered a new musical talent. It appears that Warren the Honking Cat has started his own band, Little Honker and the Swinging Tails. The band gave their first patio performance this spring and received rave reviews from the neighbors. The band consists of neighborhood felines – and get this – a skunk who asked to join the band and made a promise not to stink! Apparently she plays a mean milk jug. Earlier we heard about Warren’s winter recital performance. It looks like he is going for the gold now! Put your hands and paws together for the most unusual band in the country. With Warren’s talent and ideas, this band could go far.”
