Q. Why did you decide to do this children's book?

I always wanted to do it. I thought it was interesting to highlight the subject for children, operating with a very different set of constraints and codes. People who live in poverty are kind of invisible and not really talked about for children. I thought it important to reach children with good literature on a topic they are not exposed to often.
