Goodreads asked Bethany Bauerle:

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

Bethany Bauerle The idea for my book was a personal one as it is actually about my son and my daughter. As an autism parent I know how important it is to raise awareness and acceptance and I wanted to put that in a book for kids, because many kids don't quite understand what a life with autism means for both the person and their families. So I wanted to take a different approach and have the story told from the sister's perspective with lots of information about non-verbal autism, sign language, etc.
