About the author

Alex Cross lives in Chicago, where he works as a Head of Clinical Applications in the healthcare industry. He is also a Realtor and a real estate investor who owns and operates Airbnb properties with his wife. Outside of work, he enjoys staying active, cooking, eating, board games (especially when he triumphs over his wife), sports, and spending time with family and friends. He also loves traveling; his family aims to take one international trip each year.

Learning to Poo with Mr. Luckabah Loo began with a childhood nickname. Alex made up “Luckabah Loo” for his sister when they were kids. Years later, the name popped back into his head, and he realized it rhymed with “poo,” a subject he has always found disproportionately entertaining. By the time his wife came home that day, he had written a children’s book, much to her surprise.

With their first child on the way, Alex became determined to bring the story to life. He hopes this first book makes potty training fun and easier, and sells enough copies to help make the next one possible.
