Kearney, NE, August 28, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Diane Small has completed a new book, "Sammie Ann and the Naughty Squirrel," which follows a charming young girl from Nebraska whose grandparents instilled in her a deep appreciation for the wildlife that visits their backyard. This delightful tale, the second installment in the Sammie Ann series, springs from treasured family memories of feeding birds and squirrels while watching them feast from the porch.

Born and raised in Nebraska, Diane Small draws from her own family's outdoor heritage along the Platte River to craft these heartwarming narratives.
