It's a Scamp's Life!
......A person, especially a child, who is mischievous in a likable or amusing way. "That described Grampa, all right, but there was only one person who ever called him that. We wondered why......." It's a Scamp's Life both transports and transforms its reader. Traveling back to not-so-ordinary everyday life of the 1930's and 40's, a loving Grandfather spins the tale of a young boy growing up in a small Maine town during the Great Depression. Sharing the hilarious antics of his nail-clipping, couch-loving, pet goat Bud to the emotional episode of almost losing a best friend during WWII, Scamp will make you laugh and cry. But most of all, it will help you grasp and appreciate a piece of history we can't get back but won't ever want to forget. Experience the journey! Wanda Kezar is first and foremost a teacher and a learner for she believes you cannot be one without the other. Reading and writing flow naturally from curiosity, and she was inspired by her first grade teacher to be forever curious. Wanda grew up in Maine and has a Bachelor Degree in Education from the University of Maine at Farmington and a Masters Degree from the University of New England. She taught for 11 years in private and public schools in Maine and currently homeschools her two children. She writes this book with a two-fold mission in mind. She wants to preserve a great historical story, and she wants to motivate and inspire children to be curious-to sit with their elders, to listen, to learn, to read, and to write.
