About the Author

Candace Payne is also known as 'Chewbacca Mom', which is what some media outlets have called her after a Facebook Live video of her wearing a Chewbacca mask went viral (like, super viral, with 160+ million views) and made lots of people laugh. Since then, she has appeared on shows like 'Good Morning America,' 'Entertainment Tonight', and 'The Late Late Show with James Corden'. She was also invited to the headquarters of Lucasfilm and Facebook. If that wasn't enough, Hasbro gave her a 'Chewbacca Mom' action figure that says phrases from the viral video. Candace lives in Texas with her husband, two children, and ornery pug.
