RingTail Raffi introduces mindfulness in such a fun way. What inspired you to use a lemur as the main character?

They were jumping all over me - on my head, arms, legs, all at the same time. They felt light as a feather and were so fun, friendly, bouncy and lively. They had the most amazing eyes and were such unique animals. When I did further research - I became more interested in them, they are the world's oldest primates - before monkeys... So the ring tailed lemur became my first main character. I also didn't want to write a children's book using a dog or a cat for example...how basic. I love to incorporate learning about the characters I use, so why not keep them interesting? My upcoming book also has a very unique character - and I'm very excited to start sharing about it. Thank you for your question : ) (less)
