Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor SPOILER ALERT: This post contains spoilers for “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” now playing in theaters.

Cynthia Littleton Business Editor A birthday ritual at her daughter’s preschool gave Cindy Chupack the inspiration to write her first children’s picture book. When her daughter Olivia was a toddler, Chupack, a veteran TV and film writer and two-time Emmy winner, was invited to read a special picture book to the preschool class to celebrate Olivia’s birthday.
