Welcome to Episode 7 of Make Your Message RIGHT, a podcast created to help you make your message resonate truthfully and authentically.


My name is Marian Gramlich, and in today’s episode, my guest is Pat J Wheeler, author of “Winnie Acts Up,” who explains how a shy girl transforms into a confident person by exploring the theater.

Pat’s inspiration was her youngest granddaughter, who, at the time, was almost six years old. The character, Winnie, is initially intimidated and fearful of being onstage until another child befriends her and enables her to become more confident. The book explains basic theater terms to help any young reader.


“Winnie Acts Up” is more than a book about a young girl and the theater. It is about transformation and becoming confident if you open yourself to vulnerability and learning.


Pat is a retired educator, thespian, and gram who now writes children’s books that engage readers in thought-provoking stories driven by robust vocabulary. One of Pat’s favorite quotes is by Alexandra Trenfor, “The BEST teachers show you where to look but don’t tell you what to SEE!”
