Why the author wrote this book:One of my poems, The Kite Flyer, trigger the idea of a story using the technique to fly a kite to reflect the way relationships will fly high and not fall to the ground. I decided to write about a widow with a speical needs child and chose a child with Down Syndrom because those children have unconditional love and are the epitome of happiness. |
