Goodreads asked Rachel E. Kelly:

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

Rachel E. Kelly Initially, a dream. It was then reinforced by an email from my mom that she had written during the time my dad was dying from cancer. She gave the advice to never underestimate the power of simply touching someone. I pondered this for a long time. There is great power in human touch--even the simplest brush of the hand. Skin-on-skin. It has no replacement. And thus, Wendy, the main character of Colorworld was born.
