Her BFF is Savannah, her favorite color is yellow and she always, always, always wears mix-matched socks!

Her older brother Jacobi used to play with her all the time, but not so much anymore since he’s a teenager now. Sasha doesn’t mind though, cause for a second grader, she sure does have a lot going on and she keeps herself busy….all the time!

Life was going as smooth as peanut butter until Sasha got the weekly newsletter that was all about a stupid-dupulous daddy daughter dance. And of course Sasha has a “father” but nope, no “daddy”. Sasha has a LOT of questions for her mommy and a plan to go to that Daddy Daughter Dance, MINUS THE DADDY!

This 100 page fully illustrated book was co-written by Marea Michele and her then 9 year old daughter Kynnedy to creatively address the issue of absentee fathers in a way that is inspiring to both children and adults!!
