Goodreads asked Cody Patterson:

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

Cody Patterson What started as a sonnet I wrote for my then-girlfriend (now wife), transformed into a story for families as our own family grew and had adventures. I would also say meeting my grandmother for the first time—after a 59-year family search—was an incredible inspiration to write about the universal experience of life's many "first days".
