| Can You Be Like Me? by Dianna M. Skidmore When wise old Mr. Owl tells Tobias Turtle that he should not play with his best friend Drake Duck because they have nothing in common, the two friends set off to prove him wrong. They have some fun and a few disasters before they find the answer! |
| Dianna M. Skidmore was born and raised in northeast Ohio where she still resides with her husband, and their three dogs. In February of 2011 she found her job suddenly “downsized” and for the first time in 31 years she was unemployed. A graduate of the Institute of Children’s Literature and former creative writing student at Youngstown State University, she decided to take this opportunity to fulfill a lifelong dream and write children’ s books. Using her grandchildren as inspiration the “Can You Be Like Me?” book is a fun lesson for all children to look deeper within themselves and others to find things they have in common with friends. We don’t have to look alike to be alike! She hopes that you will like this story with a lesson and future “Can You Be” books featuring Tobias Turtle & Drake Duck. She is also working on a series of Bible lesson books called “Rainy Day Warriors in God’s Army”. email: diannawrites@yahoo.com |
