About the author:
Hi y'all! This is Karlie Waldrip, I am the author of "I Deaf-initely Can, Rhett the Heeler." I was born deaf and raised in Texas! I have a wide range of experience as a deaf person. I grew up wearing hearing aids and then later decided to get cochlear implants as a tool to allow me to hear more sounds around me. I grew up learning how to talk and sign. I taught as a Deaf Education teacher for 4 years! I adopted Rhett from a small town shelter in Texas and fought to give him a voice to educate others about deaf dogs! Writing this book has been a dream to continue to reach out to others and educate how awesome deaf dogs and people are!
By purchasing a book from BookPeople, you are not only supporting a local, independent business – you’re showing publishers that they should continue sending authors to BookPeople.
