Goodreads asked Steve Johnson:

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

Steve Johnson For me, being Out There lends itself to creation, exploration, discovery, and sometime just the plain ol' accidental fun of getting lost in the woods and finding a whole new world. Never is this more evident and influential than to the curious and tireless mind of a kid. My son and daughter showed this to me in grand style on a hike in our favorite forest up in northern Wisconsin. Their day of adventuring and learning sparked the idea for the book.
