I knew that it would only be a matter of time before Piddle Diddle, the Widdle Penguin, would be riding a horse in a western adventure as Wayne has always liked the cowboy way of life. “Piddle Diddle, the Widdle Penguin, and the Texas Longhorns”—our newest book just released—is both entertaining and educational as the Diddle family gets to enjoy the cowboy way of life!
Our journey of writing children’s books began many years ago in the church choir when Wayne heard a voice telling him, “You need to write children’s books.” That led to Wayne’s creation of Piddle Diddle, the Widdle Penguin, now a registered trademark. Getting published did not happen overnight, but it was worth the wait getting to work with Teresa Wilkerson (illustrator), Janie Jessee (publisher), Tara Sizemore (graphic designer), and the staff of Jan-Carol Publishing, Inc.
Come and join Piddle Diddle, the Widdle Penguin, and her family as they vacation at a dude ranch and help cowboys on a cattle drive of Texas Longhorns! “Piddle Diddle, the Widdle Penguin, and the Texas Longhorns” can be purchased through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Jan-Carol Publishing, Inc., and our website, www.majorbooksofjoy.com. Information on future book signings to be announced. We are aware of God’s hand guiding us in this venture. I remember well that Sunday night when we first talked about this journey that started in the church choir!
