About the Author

As a testicular cancer survivor passionate about raising awareness of the disease, Steven Crocker co-authored What’s Wrong with Billy’s Balls? with his wife Ashley, a pediatric nurse. Combining Ashley’s love for her young patients with Steven’s passion for raising awareness of the importance of early detection of testicular cancer, this book was written to plant the seed for familiarizing oneself with oneself at an early age, destigmatizing boys and young men from asking for help when they suspect that it is needed.

The illustrations and watercolor were done by Steven’s brother and his wife. Blake Crocker and Taia Blizard met in Richmond, Virginia, where they grew into themselves as artists and creatives. After living in Richmond for several years, they moved to Brooklyn, New York. In the book, there’s a special “Easter egg” honoring Blake and Taia’s late dog, Presley, who passed away after a battle with cancer in May 2024.
