Goodreads asked DJanée:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

DJanée My most recently published book, Jimmy and the Teddy Bear, actually came from a desire to bless some children who would come to a church event that I have served at for several years. There is a Christmas Dinner that takes place every year to give people in need a wonderful holiday celebration with complimentary food, clothes to take home, and other things. The children also receive a Christmas gift or two.
I wrote Jimmy and the Teddy Bear to give the children free copies of a story that would hopefully show them that they are special, building their self-esteem. This story was my Christmas gift to them.
