My name is Dianne Ochiltree, and I write books for young readers. With each book, I strive to write the best prose or poetry I can, because I believe our beginning readers deserve the best. I also hope to make learning fun for kids, and encourage in them a lifelong love of reading. Good books can open the door to exciting new worlds. They help us understand each other and ourselves.
Favorite books become lifelong friends.
By now, you ve guessed that I love reading books, too. That s why I also am a children s book reviewer. Right now, this web site features information about my books, my writing background, and about how I share my enthusiasm for reading and creative writing with students of all ages. In the months to come, I plan to add lesson plans, craft ideas and at-home activity suggestions for use with my published books. There will be a section of helpful writing and editing tips, as well as a recommended reading list of how to books for those interested in becoming a professional writer.
