Author Information

Inspired by her son's love for his car seat, long car rides, and most of all, their morning commute, New Jersey native Ashley L. Matias began to ask him, ""What do you see?"" That simple question transformed their daily routine into an adventure and created countless opportunities to interact. With a deep sense of empathy and a commitment to support her son's speech development, Ashley turned to her love of poetry and songwriting to help her son find his voice. Drawing from her own memories of sitting in a car seat, she created The Ride Along Series to capture the world through a child's eyes and encourage parents to slow down and narrate the often overlooked, yet meaningful, moments of childhood.
