Sleepy Dad Press
About the Author
Tristan was born in Washington state but soon moved to Hawaii, where he grew up. He then went to college at Stanford University, where he graduated, but more importantly, met his wife. Tristan started telling stories to his daughter at nap and bedtime. With a little prompting from his spouse, he decided to start writing them down. Most of the stories he writes are topics that randomly come up throughout the day when he is hanging out with his daughter (3) and son (1). Usually, he tries to work in some sort of lesson but some of the stories are just for fun. He chose Sleepy Dad Press because, as any parent knows, you end up being tired most of the time with little ones. He hopes you and your little one(s) enjoy the stories and he wishes you the best.
