Book Cover & Preview Text
She stands three feet.
Everyone loves her
Because she is sweet.
Friendly Kenley
Smiles all the time.
She loves her two names
Because they both rhyme.
When Friendly Kenley
Is out on the street.
She loves to hear
The click of her feet.
Little girl
With pigtails flying,
She skips down the street
But then hears crying!
What makes her sad,
As she takes her walk?
Is something bad?
It’s un-friendly talk!

About the Author
De Etta Miller was raised in Bloomington, Minnesota in the 1950’s. One of six children raised in poverty and challenging circumstances. It would be her childhood that would act as the catalyst to a writing career centered around messages of social and familial kindness. With the support of her husband and three children, De Etta pursued a college education and graduated at fifty-five years old with an Associate of Arts degree and a Bachelor of Arts degree. It was in academia that she found “her voice,” and used it to share the power of the written word, particularly for the lives of children.
