Bubba and the Sweet Pea
The profound lessons that Gladys learned through Bubba's short life may have been subtle yet inspirational, and so this children's story, Bubba And The Sweet Pea, was created.
The beautifully illustrated and touching book shares with you Bubba's unforgettable journey. As Bubba is faced with personal struggles, he discovers that his desire for outer beauty is overshadowed when he learns the value of inner beauty.
With this story, Gladys aspires to reach out to young children and instil in them the confidence to fight the challenges of self-worth.

A Real Story of Feathers and Friendship
Bubba was a real sulphur-crested cockatoo, diagnosed with PBFD (Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease) at 8 months old. Despite the illness, Bubba lived a happy, vibrant life — and his character now lives on in the pages of this book, teaching children that inner beauty and self-worth matter more than outward appearance.
Every copy purchased helps fund PBFD research and programs supporting children facing challenges with self-esteem.
