Squiggly Gets Glasses

Squiggly just wants to fit in, but it's hard when he looks so different from the other squirrels at school. And the class bully, Archie, doesn't make it any easier. But, with the help of his good friends and some great adults, Squiggly learns that being different doesn't have to be hard---it can be fun! Squiggly realizes just how special he is, how great making new friends can be, and that he doesn't have to look like anyone else, he just has to look like Squiggly!

Dawn Clark's love of reading began when her Grandma Kate gave her an illustrated children's Bible---a love she passes on to children in her work as an educational aide and librarian. She loves reading to children and seeing their faces light up when characters rise above obstacles, accomplish their goals, or just do something funny. Dawn spent many hours with her own children, Cory and Katie, reading books every night at bedtime and making up stories all day long, which included naming the squirrels scampering around a maple tree in their backyard. With her two children now in college, Dawn has transformed those cherished family memories into the story of "Squiggly Gets Glasses". Dawn lives in Massilon, Ohio with her husband Tim, and when she's not writing, she can be found taking walks, riding her bike, and spending quality time with her family. Dawn is a member of a writers' group and is working on Squiggly's next exciting adventures.
