From the Author:
"A little bit about where this book came from...
A few years ago, our family went through one of the hardest chapter of our lives. When my daughter Layla was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma and going through chemo, my wife Jenn and I would trade off days at the hospital. On the nights I came home, I'd power through the bedtime routine - feeding the boys, bath time, teeth, pajamas - and by the time they were in bed, I was completely spent. Too exhausted to read with the lights on, I started making up stories in the dark.
This story became their absolute favorite. When we got to the surprise, the boys would go completely still in anticipation... and then absolutely lose it. Deep belly laughs that lingered for minutes but felt like an eternity. It made everything feel normal again - like all the weight of the day just melted away. Layla would crack up when I told the story during our bedtime routine at home and told me I had to make this a real book.
After months of telling it, it became a staple in our house. I promised all three of them I'd publish it someday. It took some time to have illustrated and ready to be published, but we got there.
I'm finally keeping that promise.
This story has no big lesson. It's simple, light, and a little bit silly - and that was exactly the point. Sometimes kids (and parents) just need to laugh."
