A English fairytale told in rhyme: The Little Red Hen lives with her two best friends but they are lazy and leave all the work to her. When she is fed up she finds a solution, teaching her friends that to have a friend you have to first be one.About the Author: I taught elementary school for about 20 years, was the director of a senior citizen's center in Lynchburg TN for ten years, and recently retired from City Hall in Lake Wales, Florida after working there ten years. Over the years I have written over 2,000 songs and approximately 100 children's stories that my daughter, now a veterinarian, illustrated for me. One of my goals for retirement was to finish the children's books and get them out to the public.
