Can you tell me more about your relationship with your grandmother, and her inspirationial influence to write Blue Moon? (My grandmother was my hero and savior growing up, and I love the idea that you honor yours by writing Blue Moon). Thanks Sentu Taylor
Alicia Keys
My relationship with my grandmother has been one of the most impactful relationships of my life. The grandmother/grandchild relationship is so unique, and when writing this book, I wanted to display the specialness of that intergeneration connection. There is something magical about grandparents. They have such wisdom and knowledge and they know the perfect things to say or do, when you need it the most!
The Mama Mae character in the series really represents that magical, grandmotherly spirit. One hundred percent of the book was inspired by the relationship between my grandmother and me.

Hi Alicia, Thanks so much for opening yourself and your time to answering reader's questions. In your professional life wearing many hats, when do you find time to read, and since time is so valuable, how do you choose which book to read? Also, what drove you to write a children's book? All best wishes --
