Emily Franke

Author

For as long as I can remember, my biggest inspiration was always my grandma. She was a kind soul who filled the world with light. She passed away recently and I knew I had to keep her light shining. In memory of her, I felt inspired to write a book about how to deal with the loss of a grandmother. I brought to life her Irish tradition and reminded myself she often visits me in ladybugs. So, I decided to take all my grief and fill it with happiness in creating The Ladybug Who Lived on a Four Leaf Clover. I hope my book will inspire other people to see there is still light after darkness, just look around!
