Louise The BIG Cheese, Divine Diva
By Diane Goode - September 8, 2009
Louise's debut is fast approaching....Sept. 8th.    Will her dream of starring as Cinderella in Mrs. Little's class play be realized? Will there be a big Broadway director in the audience, who will recognize her talents and make her the Divine Diva she always wanted to be?  Or.....will something go awry? Might her mousy best friend, Fern, get the part?  Might Louise be relegated to the role of gray mouse and see her hopes dashed, or will she rise to the occasion and prove what true friendship can do? The book was written by my friend, Elise Primavera. She's a brilliant illustrator in her own right,  it's the first time anyone has illustrated any of her books. Did it put true friendship to the test?  Here's the answer...we're still friends!
