ABOUT THE BOOK
Jason Garvey
Eighteen Walks with Dad follows a father and daughter through a simple yet profound tradition: one walk for every birthday, one rule for every year. From kindness in the earliest steps to courage on the edge of adulthood, each walk weaves life lessons into small but meaningful stories of growing up. It’s not about being flawless but about becoming yourself, learning through toppled towers, spelling mistakes, forgotten calls, and late-night worries. By the eighteenth walk, Kaelyn stands ready for the world, her father’s words still echoing: choose love, even when it’s hard. At its heart, this is a story of growing up, showing up, and discovering the truths hidden in life’s simplest traditions.

A Glimpse Into the Story
A toddler waves at everyone she sees. Her dad smiles, “Kindness doesn’t need words.”
A stuck zipper. A tear of frustration. Then the gentle reminder: “Asking for help doesn’t make you small. It means you’re growing.”
The word “dinosaur” comes out wrong. But the drawings scattered on her desk say otherwise, proof that nothing starts perfect.
A friend’s sharp words sting. Dad’s advice is steady: “You can’t change the first wrong thing. But you can choose the next right one.”
No speeches, no fixes. Just sitting beside a friend who’s crying. Sometimes showing up is enough.
The final walk. The hardest rule and the best. A choice she’ll carry into the world beyond their sidewalk.

About the Author
There’s a quiet kind of magic in watching your child grow, not just in the big milestone moments but in the slow, quiet in-betweens. That’s where Krissy Burton finds her stories.
Writing under her full name, Kristina Mausling, Krissy is a children’s book author who writes from the heart, with a deep love for empathy, neurodiversity, and the wonderfully complex ways kids navigate the world. Inspired by her own son’s journey on the autism spectrum, Krissy’s books don’t chase perfection or timelines. They celebrate real progress, creative thinking, and the beauty of kids just being who they are.
Her stories are Thomas Rides Free, Thomas Plays Too, and Thomas Needs a Tool! They aren’t just books. They’re little invitations to slow down, to notice, and to connect. Whether it’s a child taking their time to ride a bike, navigating playground dynamics, or solving a problem in their creative way, Krissy’s writing holds space for difference and encourages others to do the same.
Krissy’s storytelling is gentle but grounded, layered with humor, heart, and honesty. You won’t find sparkles and wizards (unless a kid brings them up in conversation), but you will discover real emotions, lived experiences, and stories that stick around after the last page.
When she’s not writing or parenting, you might find her sipping lukewarm coffee, collecting oddly specific notebooks she never finishes, or having long internal debates about which shade of teal feels most emotionally supportive.
If you believe stories can make us more human, more patient, and more understanding, Krissy’s books are for you.
