![]() ![]() In Doreen’s latest book, Diary of a Worm, she explores the daily life of a lovable worm. She then teamed up once again with illustrator Betsy Lewin to write another hilarious barnyard tale, Giggle, Giggle, Quack, that continues the escapades of these lovable animals on a farm. The busy life of a writer left no room for courtroom litigation and arbitration so Doreen made the leap to being a full-time children’s book author. Five years after submitting the original manuscript she got a call from a publisher who wanted to turn her story into a book and the rest is history! In fact, she had written this barnyard tale even before attending law school but only received rejection letters from publishers. But her book was not published overnight. Doreen Cronin was a practicing attorney in Manhattan when her first book Click, Clack Moo: Cows That Type became a publishing success. ![]()
