- Written by mom of two, Erica Smith Billups. After her son had to his first craniosynostosis surgery in 2011 at just 4 months old, she lifted the mood by musing about how Deacon would explain his humungous scar one day - a wavy line running across his head, from ear to ear. Those thoughts then became How'd You Get That Scar? aka "The Scar Book" almost a decade later.
