more than YOUR average DENTIST....
“Someone should write a book about this!” Dr. D. cried a few years ago as she threw her hands up in exasperation. People thought their crooked teeth were caused by their genes, and she had to repeatedly explain the real causes. Upon hearing herself and pondering the point, she realized that SHE was the one to do it.
Though there are several really good books for adults on airway, sleep, crooked teeth, and breathing, children’s books on the subject are lacking. By targeting the general public with entertaining stories, Dr. D’s goal was clear: to educate those who didn’t know they needed educating. The mission became creating books which any parent might pick up in the library and want to read to their loved ones.
This mission of spreading the “gospel” truth appealed to Dr. Diehnelt because it was a way of expanding her circle of people who she could help. So many people, young and old, could use the information for healthier, happier lives.
When she met with the publisher, she stated that she wanted her book in all schools and all libraries. She was dead serious. The agent seemed to dismiss this. He had yet to experience the power the first book has, and we can only wait to see what the subsequent books will precipitate.
