A princess book dedicated to a remarkable artist, father, and friend.

The first Ella the Restless Princess book is dedicated to Bob Redmon, a remarkable artist, father, and friend whose infectious charisma and positivity will always be remembered.

During a challenging time in 2021, when Bob battled illness, my daughter Ella and I found comfort in creativity. Due to hospital restrictions, Ella was not allowed to visit him. While my wife stayed by her father's side, Ella and I spent our days playing, watching cartoons, and covering everything in sight with stickers. Playing with those stickers sparked the idea of creating a story with them. That sticker adventure became the inspiration for the first Ella the Restless Princess children's chapter book.

Although Bob's passing weighed heavily on us, those moments of creativity taught us that imagination can bring joy even in times of grief. As the years passed, Ella's boundless imagination, curiosity, and love of storytelling helped the series grow far beyond that first idea. Together, we continued creating new adventures, allowing the world of Twinklemist and its characters to blossom into the series it is today.

Bob's legacy of creativity and zest for life lives on in our hearts, and his inspiration will forever be part of the story that started it all.
