She explained that her oldest son Calvin had been a huge driving force in the writing process. “Calvin has been ‘co-editor’ throughout this whole process because every time we read the book I would always read it to him and he saw it when it was just on my computer on a word document,” she said.
She added: “It’s fun for everybody to get the copy and read it and just so cool to imagine people reading it to their kids. You’re putting yourself out there and it’s just nice that everyone has liked it so far.”
