Tony the Pickle
Hi everyone,
Welcome to my children’s book blog today. I really enjoy finding new children’s books with wonderful messages told in clever ways. I discovered Jacky and absolutely loved the idea of a pickle having a story to tell. I believe children will love this character too!
So, here’s Jacky to tell us more about herself and the inspiration behind Tony the Pickle…
J. B. Zuker was born in Guatemala City on the morning of the 10th of March 1988. At a very early age, she embraced her passion to write poetry, travel, and explore the world.
She had the amazing experience to be part of a youth group that changed her life, provided her leadership skills and alternative educational methods. Through this group, she was able to influence youth in her community.
After graduating high school, she packed her bags and permanently moved to Israel. Where she lived six months in a Kibbutz and later decided to move to Tel Aviv City.
She graduated from RISS Recanati International School after three and a half years of Finance and Marketing studies. Graduating with a BA in Finance and Marketing.
Today, she is happily married and has a beautiful daughter. She inspired her to take Tony’s stories back to the light. After keeping Tony only for bedtime stories and the kids she babysat in the past.
Her mission is to bring educational morals to kids through Tony’s adventures.

The Wacky Adventures of Tony The Pickle https://amzn.to/3dhQrqE is the first book of a series of wacky and imaginative adventures where Tony takes the young readers to the extremes of imagination and leaves room for learning and dialogue.
Almost 15 years ago, I had the very hard task to satisfy the hungry minds of 5 children I used to babysit. They didn’t like their books at home and wanted a made up story. Tony came to life that day, together with The Big Fat Lady, Froggy and even Pickleinna. The forest became a wonderful playground and the sea was more than just a strange place where they could dive into adventures and let their minds go wild.
Every night those kids craved more stories. So the characters developed along those fun story nights. I would write new ideas while attending school so I could come and tell them new stories every weekend night. They loved the stories so much so when I left to live in a Kibbutz in Israel my sisters took over my babysitting nights with them and even then they would demand new stories of Tony The Pickle.
I always had in the back of my mind that Tony needs to be known by more kids. So I kept on telling his stories to new kids I met and it had the same effect on them that it had on my kids back home. I knew I had to write the stories. So I did. The Wacky Adventure of Tony The Pickle just marks the beginning.
I also created complimentary memorabilia. Including socks, backpacks and more to keep Tony close. You can check it out at www.TonyThePickle.com
Thank you, Jacky, for sharing your very interesting story about yourself and how Tony came to life! We look forward to hearing about his future adventures.
