"Spending a few years in Africa as a child, I developed a deep connection to their culture that continues to inspire me. Now living in Oklahoma and teaching for 12 years, I’ve spent countless nights creating bedtime stories for my three children. Those cherished moments led me to write my first book. I hope you fall in love with Abigail as much as we have. I’m excited to share this story rooted in imagination and love."
