Was there a particular moment, a child or an outdoor experience or observation that kind of motivated you or found or got into this book? I know your children are there and there's something special about the pages that.

Yes.

Yes.

I mean, I think just seeing my kids interact and seeing them play as always.

I mean, I get most of my ideas, not only from the things that the kids in my life say, whether it's at school at home, but just kind of watching them and just saying, huh, man, these kids, they're learning about the world around them, but they teach me so much every single day.

And it's just really great to kind of see how the world opens up to them in a brand new way that an old guy like me is sort of closed off.

So I opened myself up to these new experiences.

between writing the books, but as an educator has writing a book about your own transformation, now writing for children, has that changed you, changed you as an educator now that you're a two-time author?
