Meet Debbie

Who would have thought that I’d be writing children’s books? For much of my life, I was illiterate and dyslexic, only learning to read at the age of 32. I still need help with spelling (thank goodness for spell check).

This book was easy to follow, funny and even had some educational information about some Native American language and history. It would be a great book for a young reader who is just starting chapter books and has a sense of humor. The illustrations are bright, colorful and add to the story. Looking forward to book #2.

I loved this book. It made me laugh. I learned new things. I forgot that I was reading and was fully engaged with the kids and the animals. I hope the author makes it into an audiobook one day! I can't wait for more in this series.

Remember, creativity is your superpower, kindness is your strength, and teamwork makes us all stronger together. Most importantly, believe in yourself—you can achieve amazing things! Take a moment to thank the heroes who inspire you every day, like your grandparents, teachers, friends, and family. They believe in you, and so do we. Keep dreaming big, working hard, and spreading kindness wherever you go. The world is brighter with you in it!"

Who would have imagined that I would be writing a children's book, let alone a series? I’m writing books that I would not have been able to read to my children.
