1. How does the author's family influence the content of the book?
The author's family plays a significant role in shaping the content of the book. The author's mother, Joanne, instilled a love for books and learning, while the author's siblings, partners, and children take them out of the library and into fun and festive experiences. The author's husband, Will, and their children, Alex and William, are the author's whole world, and their presence infuses the pages of the book. The author's love for their family gives them hope for the future and belief in the possibility of anything. The writing and publication of the book coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic, which took the author's beloved father, Patrick Ricciardi, away. The author's father's support and pride were invaluable to the author and their family, and they miss him terribly. Overall, the author's family serves as a source of inspiration, love, and support throughout the book.
