When Shawn was teaching kindergarten, his class was horrified when a student lost his first tooth. The child cried and was confused. Many of the children didn't know this was normal. Some didn't have older siblings, friends or cousins who experienced this in front of them. Shawn wanted to write this book to show kids that losing a baby tooth is a fun and natural experience.

Shawn Thorn lives in North Vancouver, Canada, with his husband, son, cousin, and their vizsla. They are surrounded by the Coast Mountains and fresh air. Shawn spent his career as a child therapist for the past several decades, focusing on cognitive and behavioural therapy. During this time, Shawn wrote dozens of stories and tucked them away in a vault, until recently. His passion for writing has become his forefront.
