Goodreads asked Jane E. Ruth:

How do you get inspired to write?

Jane E. Ruth I work with the Ngäbe nation on the Comarca in Panama. I saw that the children did not have any children's books. I inquired of a Ngäbe friend we have and he was only able to find one book written by a Ngäbe years ago about a rabbit. There may be more, but I haven't found them yet. I asked our local library and they said we do not have any children's books for Ngäbe children. How sad, a nation of 300,000 indigenous and no children's books.
