Author Bio

Naomi Krokowski has always loved children's books and especially enjoyed reading them as a mom, early childhood educator, and now grandma. When her young friend Miles asked her if grown-ups cry, the idea for this book was born. It's an important question! Naomi hopes many children, educators, and caregivers can delight in and ponder the answer together.
