Lakisha’S World

Welcome to LaKishas World. The idea behind this book is to teach young children a little something about the things they see around them every day - with this version being about birds.* The story begins with LaKisha looking out the window of her room, and subsequently asks her mom about the birds she sees in her yard. As a result, she will learn their names and a little bit about them - which will, hopefully, impress her friends at a later date. Through the developing story line, I hope to instill in a childs young mind, a sense of the acceptance of others and the power of friendship. *I learned a lot about birds through two distinct vehicles. The first was spending a lot of unemployed afternoons in my own backyard watching the various birds in my trees. I made it a point to look up each one I found to discover more about them. The second was through my life-long friends Tom & Laurel, who gave tours at the Cincinnati Zoo. They could tell you more about any species than what is written on those description placards.
