Melissa Gass is a first-time children's book author who is inspired by the curiosity of children and time spent outdoors, especially with her family's golden retrievers by her side. For over twenty years, she and her family have escaped from their busy life in Charlotte, North Carolina, to Bald Head Island, where the natural beauty inspired her book, Where Do You Find a Belief? Swimming and writing have both been passions of hers from a young age, and she finds that in those quiet moments, her best ideas begin to surface. Melissa's belief is that some of life's most gratifying discoveries happen when we slow down, step outside, and let our imaginations wander.
