As they gear up for their first wedding anniversary next month, Scott and Mark Hoying are embarking on a new creative endeavor that they hope will both strengthen their union and boost the morale of kids of all ages who feel like they dont fit in.

Last month, the couple unveiled their debut childrens book, How Lucky Am I? Its a heartwarming tale about a mayfly as it wings its way toward self-fulfillment and acceptance in a brief but extraordinary life.

Scott, known globally as a member of the Grammy-winning a cappella group Pentatonix, said he and his now-husband dreamt up How Lucky Am I? while cooking dinner at their Los Angeles home toward the latter half of 2019. As Scott began retrieving ingredients, he caught sight of a fly that wound up making its way into the freezer.
