McMillan, Ashley: - Ashley McMillan worked as a preschool teacher assistant for many years, and writing is her passion. She finds that expressing herself through writing is sometimes easier than simply talking with someone, and that stories allow people to feel and to connect with one another. She loves to create children's books of all kinds. But this book is very special. It comes straight from her grieving heart. Writing this story helped Ashley heal from the pain of losing her dad. Her hope is that her story brings comfort to all the grieving hearts who read it.
