Debbie is a mother to three sons, a daughter & has a grandson who she loves all very dearly. She is honoring her son Kevin, who passed away 6 ½ years ago, by bringing this cute, interactive, rhyming book to life that has been in the family for many many years. For the past 28 years, she has worked as a Project Manager and has always had an entrepreneurial spirit. Debbie and her husband Ronnie, started a business called Corny Island selling roasted corn on the cob and boardwalk favorites from 2010-2018. Debbie also created her own homemade corn salsa that was distributed throughout stores in the area. In her free time, Debbie taught Yoga for 10 years including Beginning Yoga, Power Yoga and Children's Yoga. When she recently came across the old stapled sketched book of "The Tickle Bird and Friends" that was put away for decades, she decided to give it some life. Debbie hopes she inspires others to go off the beaten path and accomplish things they never thought possible. If you have little ones of your own, grandkids, nieces, nephews, etc. that like animals and their laughter brings you joy, this book is for them. You will also be helping those suffering from addiction and mental health because a portion of the proceeds will go to the Bridge To Recovery Foundation which aims to raise awareness about the disease.
