Goodreads asked Mona Kristensen:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Mona Kristensen As someone who learned this the hard way when getting ill with CFS, I felt called to express myself and in doing so hopefully help raise awareness in highly sensitive kids on how to protect their precious energy by staying in touch and in tune with the whole rainbow of emotions, expressing instead of suppressing themselves and by setting healthy boundaries. This tender tale is mostly fictitious yet slightly inspired by my own life journey. I've never, to my recollection, had an imaginary friend, though, but I've certainly felt all of the feelings Maria is grappling with.
