Meet the Author

Evan Rawls is an expert in bedtime stories, snack negotiations, and spontaneous dance parties with his two kids. A proud husband and dad, Evan wrote Cheers! after realizing his daughter knew how to say “cheers” in Bulgarian (his wife’s native language) before she could even tie her shoes. This sparked a global adventure (mostly from his living room) to learn how cultures around the world celebrate life’s little moments. When he’s not playing human jungle gym for his kids, Evan enjoys chasing golf balls into the woods, cheering on his Virginia Tech Hokies, and tackling life’s adventures with his wife. Evan believes that no matter where you are or where you are from, the world could always use a little more Cheers!
