Goodreads asked Robyn Gram-Barclay:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Robyn Gram-Barclay I would advise to write about what you know and what you would love to learn more about! I love poetry and being a teacher of Primary/Junior students, the rhyming format is often catchy, easier to read (regarding the flow) and entertaining.
My son and I also love sea creatures, so I felt I would delve into a story about that subject matter, as it interests us both. Plus, as an illustrator, I felt I could do this story justice with the imagery to follow. It was a ton of fun to create the characters visually, to the original written word.
