C.J. Ma vividly remembers how stunned he’d felt when he witnessed the abuse and exploitation that animals were exposed to in a California theme park in the early 1980s. His own experiences in school meant he greatly empathized with these animals.

C.J. was born and raised in Taiwan, Republic of China. There, under tremendous academic pressure, C.J. did not have a great learning experience. He had no confidence or self-esteem and hated school. Moving to California at age 13, his struggle continued in a new and unfamiliar environment.

He was often bullied at schools until he met his savior, a teacher named Mr. Pelton who came to C.J.’s rescue with generous heart and uplifting support. C.J. is forever grateful.

How do you deal with writer’s block?
C.J. Ma I have encountered so many obstacles completing this book. English is not my first language. I have terrible vocabularies and grammatic skills. Plus, …moreI have encountered so many obstacles completing this book. English is not my first language. I have terrible vocabularies and grammatic skills. Plus, I don't believe I am an artist. But, I strongly believe in the purpose of this story book, that it would inspire our children and make this world a little better through the empathic perspectives of the rescued animals. Driven by the belief of the purpose, I slowly but steadily progressed forward to complete the book, including more than 6 months to finish the illustrations of this book. 15 years was a long time. But the value of the story is timeless.(less)
