GB comes alive, jumps to his
feet and exclaims, "Uh-uh, Man! How you gonna play me? First, she makes me,
and then she bakes me. Now you want to break off my leg and eat me? Uh-uh!
Ain't no love here! I'm out this joint! See ya!"
GB moonwalks to the edge of the table and leaps out the window singing his song. He goes through a series of adventures in his quest to find a loving home and acceptance in this world of diversity. ________ |

What do the grown-ups think? “It sounds so real!” — Lisa Card, Middle School Art Teacher “You are a wonderful storyteller! Continue to tap into your creative genius.”— Anthony T. Houston, Middle School Principal “You must come back again! Your presentation was excellent! You are a very special person and a gifted teacher! Both faculty and students were impressed…”— Dr. J. Thomas Wilson, Principal (PreK-8) “…a refreshing educational journey enjoyed by both young and old as you share each wonderful experience through the eyes of GB, a gingerbread boy.”— Ann LaFlora, Sunday School Teacher “Diane’s diversity song (“I’m Different”), along with her rich voice is memorable. I want to hear more!”— Mae-Yong Ogletree, International Women Writers Guild “Diane M. Lockett’s series of stories provide a real asset for supplemental, as well as core language arts and English classes. The touching theme of triumph over adversarial odds, set in an urban milieu relates well to audiences (including mainstreamed, bilingual, handicapped, and ‘special’ students).” – Pearl M. Weiss, School Psychologist, Ed.S
