Ruth asked Lisa McMann:

where did you get your inspiration?

Lisa McMann I get a lot of inspiration from asking "What if..." about everything. What if there was a world where children were punished for being creative? What if someone got pulled into other people's dreams?

I also get a lot of inspiration from nature and animals. I'm curious about them. That leads to more and more ideas.
