My name is Debra George, and I am the proud author of Yankee The Fish. When I first began writing this children’s book back in 2017, It was published under my maiden name, Flanagan. Now, eight years and four months later, I am thrilled to see this story finally completed—a testament to perseverance and the message to never give up on your dreams. Yankee The Fish is more than just a children’s tale; it carries an underlying message inspired by one of God’s commandments, reflecting the importance of faith in my life. The story follows Yankee, a young and curious catfish who, by not listening to her mother, takes an unexpected tumble over Niagara Falls. Through her journey, Yankee learns a valuable life lesson—one that I hope inspires young readers to make wise choices and cherish the guidance of those who care for them.
