For Independent Author Debra Mares,
violence against women is not only a topic in today’s news, it’s a
topic in her crime novels, cases she handled as a county prosecutor, and
now it will be the topic in her first children’s book It’s This Monkey’s Business. Debra is
a veteran county prosecutor in Riverside currently specializing in
community prosecution, juvenile delinquency and truancy. Her office has
one of the highest conviction rates in California and is the fifteenth
largest in the country. You name it – she’s prosecuted it – homicides,
gang murders, domestic violence, sex cases, political corruption, major
fraud and parole hearings for convicted murderers. She is a two-time
recipient of the County Prosecutor of the Year Award and 2012 recipient
of the Community Hero Award.
Debra is the granddaughter of a Mexican migrant farm worker and
factory seamstress, was born and raised in Los Angeles, was the first to
graduate college in my family, and grew up dancing Ballet Folklorico
and Salsa. Her own family story includes struggles with immigration,
domestic violence, mental health, substance abuse and teen pregnancy,
which she addresses in her novels. She followed a calling at 11 years
old to be an attorney and voice for women, and appreciates international
travel and culture. Her life’s mission is to break the cycle of
victimization and domestic violence.Debra is also the co-founding Executive Director of Women Wonder Writers, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization implementing creative intervention and mentoring programs for at-risk youth. In 2012, Debra self-published Volume 1 of her debut legal thriller series, The Mamacita Murders featuring Gaby Ruiz, a sex crimes prosecutor haunted by her mother’s death at the hands of an abusive boyfriend. In 2013, Debra released her second crime novel, The Suburban Seduccion, featuring “The White Picket Fence” killer Lloyd Gil, who unleashes his neonatal domestic violence-related trauma on young women around his neighborhood.

REVIEW
To start with the book has a captivating cover. The illustrations are bright and interesting along with being fun. I also liked that the pages were a nice thickness for small hands. The pages can also be wiped off from those sticky little fingers. Little children have a short attention span and I believe this book isn't too long and is fun and full of adventure. The bright colors help to keep their attention. The book is about a little monkey who is trying to find a perfect place to live where she can have a place to learn how to swing. This poor little monkey doesn't like fighting so some of her choices may not be the best for her. I don't want to give any more about the book but it does teach a wonderful lesson for the little monkey. This will help to give the little one confidence. A good little book for little ones who parents are not together.
I was given a compliment copy from the author, Debra Mares and Pump Up Your Book for my view of the book. No other compensation took place.
I would give this book 5 STARS.
