Can I Ask You a Question?

By Cortney Charles King

"Dad... can I ask you a question?"

From childhood to adulthood, one simple question echoes through the years, each time carrying a deeper meaning, a greater need, and a moment that can never be relived.

In this powerful and heartfelt story, readers follow Emery-Marie as she grows from a young girl into a woman, repeatedly reaching out to her father for connection, guidance, and time. Each moment is met with love, but also with delay, distraction, or responsibility.

As life unfolds, those missed moments begin to add up... until one final question changes everything.

Beautifully illustrated and emotionally resonant, this story serves as a gentle yet powerful reminder:

The moments we postpone today... may be the ones we wish we never missed tomorrow.

✨ Perfect for:

-Parents and children to read together

-Families navigating communication gaps

-Teaching emotional awareness and connection

-Meaningful conversations between generations

This is more than a story, it's a reflection, a lesson, and a conversation starter that stays with you long after the final page.
