About the Author Ann Desseyn-Cooper

A few years ago Ann Desseyn-Cooper stayed in an old fisherman’s cottage in Uig on the Westcoast of the Isle of Lewis which is situated in the North West of Scotland. The views were amazing and the weather created the perfect atmosphere for sitting by the sputtering coal fire and dreaming away. It made her realize how lucky she was to be alive. Her best friend, Aline Carpentier, died of accute leukaemia during her last year in Barnum (Roeselare) and with this book she hopes to keep her memory alive. Without distractions around her and stimulated by visual clues in and around the house, a story started to form. So, in haste she drew a story board. No TV, no radio, no internet connection and no phone signal, that was her secret. Not to mention she accidentally locked an otter in the shed whilst taking out the bin. She hopes that this story will help children to Say Goodbye Forever to their friends.Ann still lives in the Hebrides and more books will follow in the coming years. Should you wonder what the funny sounding words in the book are, they are in a language called Scots Gaelic.
