Goodreads asked C.J. Ma:

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, 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.
