What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I was inspired to write my children’s chapter book, Four Anxious Armadillos after an armadillo burrowed under my patio. Prompted to educate myself on armadillo behavior, my internet search on the local nine-banded armadillos found in Texas led me to other armadillos, such as the pink fairy armadillo of Argentina, the screaming hairy armadillo of Bolivia, and the three-banded armadillo of Brazil. I thought, “Wow, this is too good to be true; these characters deserve a story!” Each of the four armadillo species have their own unique way of responding to anxiety, just as we humans do, so perhaps we can learn some anxiety coping skills as we take an adventure south to Argentina with four anxious armadillos!
