Grandma's Ears Are Broken With Marlene Shipley Everhardt
In this episode, Rich has a conversation with Marlene Shipley Everhardt.
Step into the world of Marlene Shipley Everhardt, a Maryland native hailing from the illustrious Bel Air. Marlene's incredible journey began with a simple idea, to capture the heartwarming experiences between a deaf grandmother and her hearing grandsons in a children's book. Years later, this idea has blossomed into a sensational series of "Signing Grandma Books," which showcase beautifully illustrated American Sign Language (ASL) signs. Co-authoring the series with her high school friend of 50 years, Pat Goldys, Marlene is thrilled to continue her legacy as a CODA (Child Of Deaf Adults).

Join Marlene on her journey as she inspires, educates, and delights readers of all ages with her enchanting stories of family, love,
