Deborah was not a child who spent hours with her nose buried in books because reading didn’t come easy. Neither did writing. When she became a parent, she happily read armloads of books aloud to her children. After thousands of pages, she discovered her reading had become more fluid and she fell in love with children’s literature. Her first book (unpublished) was for her son who also struggled with reading. From there she took courses, joined writers’ groups, wrote humorous and educ -
