The author states, “I hope people read this book and realize there is an elegant honesty to letting yourself feel whatever you need to in certain moments.” About the Author Ashley Sigmon really values working with kids. She appreciates their curiosity and their disregard of social standards. Sigmon loves to read books where people discover their worth (and also fall madly in love), take baths, light candles, and forget to blow them out to her father’s dismay. Sigmon loves her family and the endless support they have provided to make sure her five-year-old dream of becoming an author came to fruition.
