Emmie Seals was born and raised in the hills of Tennessee where she still resides with her husband, four children, dog, rabbits, and chickens. Inspired through her family's adoption experiences, she writes ensuring children can see themselves reflected in her work, while giving a gentle nod to biological, foster, and adoptive parents. She is passionate about literacy and spreading the joy of books far and wide. When not writing, you can find her engaging in her community in a variety of ways to spread literacy, volunteering on the PTO, participating in local events, or snuggled up with her children for quality story time. Her writings are a warm embrace that touch the heart strings with each read.
