Heather O. Prince lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with her husband and two dogs. She is an aunt, child caregiver, and behavioral aide. Heather was a special education teacher's assistant and behavioral therapist for children with developmental delays, and she has worked with hundreds of children. When she was diagnosed with late-stage Lyme disease and unable to physically work, Heather found herself searching for a new purpose that would still allow her to help children. She felt inspired when her then 5-year-old niece told her she was going on a field trip to a place called "The Tree Farmacy." This prompted Heather to write her first book, Tree Farmacy, which aims to teach readers that they can fulfill their purpose by helping others.
