Because of Dads

“Warm depictions of dads doing what they do best–being there for their little ones.” -Kirkus

K.E. Lewis was raised in Bishopville, South Carolina, where the weather is hot and the accent thick. He loves words, learning new things, and teaching new things. When he’s not immersed in his characters, K.E. is looking for great food, visiting somebody’s museum, doodling at his arts and craft station, or catching up on the shows he’s missed while creating stories. He resides on the border of both Carolinas, making frequent trips to the beaches, and often thinking of his namesake, the person who inspired him to write this book, his father.
