Goodreads asked Susea Spray:

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

Susea Spray With my husband, we sailed from Adelaide, Australia to Europe. When looking for stories about sailing for ages 4 to 8 for our grandchildren, I discovered there aren't that many out there - especially those for girls. The books were either imaginative or about people met in different countries. A Big Blue Boat and its upcoming sequels are about our experiences on the sea in the real big blue boat and present realististic storylines in a fun way.
