A Goodreads user asked Laurel Snyder:

How did you get the idea of writing Orphan Island?

Laurel Snyder I was reading with my kids at night, and first we read The Little Prince, and they had all sorts of big questions and ideas as a result, and then we read My Side of the Mountain, and they LOVED the idea of living without grownups. Somehow, those two books sort of mingled in my head and about a year later, I wrote Orphan Island...

Thanks for asking!
