Dr. Dyken and her husband, Dr. Jason Dyken, have been married for twenty- three years and are blessed with three sons (Jace, Landon, and Colton) and one daughter (Carmon). Her children served as inspiration for this book. As the saying goes, they grow up way too fast. She hopes this book will motivate new parents to take a pause and give their kids an extra big hug with each lost baby tooth.
When you fell asleep, it was my turn. I flew down from the sky,
Shook Sprinkles Everywhere,
Grabbed your tooth and gave it a big hug.
