Goodreads asked Charity Becker:

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

Charity Becker That would be Brother Toad and the Giants. It's based on a real toad who lives in my garden, actually! He and I became buddies a couple of years ago--he's not afraid of me at all, allows me to hold him, and he sings for me, too. I wondered what brought him to my garden, and then my mind went off on a wild tale about Brother Toad's journey to the land of the giants. It was a lot of fun to write and illustrate!
