"AFTER MY FIRST BOOK CAME OUT, I WAS INSPIRED TO WRITE MY SECOND
BOOK "MY NAME MAY BE PEANUTS, BUT I SAY NAY TO PB&J" BECAUSE
MY DAUGHTER HAS LIVED WITH PEANUT ALLERGIES SINCE AGE 2 AND IT IS
DIFFICULT TO LIVE WITH BECAUSE EVERY BITE YOU TAKE, YOU THINK IT
COULD KILL YOU. SO I WROTE ABOUT THAT. BOTH {BOOKS} ARE REAL LIFE
STORIES BASED ON WHAT'S HAPPENED IN MY LIFE." - CARLA BURKE

"I wanted to write a children's book after my second child was born but didn't have a clue what to write about. In 2005 my brother died tragically. Shortly after his death I discovered he loved dragonflies. The next year when Spring came there were literally hundreds of dragonflies flying around our house all the time. I told my son who was 4 at the time to hold out his arm and be patient and a dragonfly might land. That's how "I Spy a Dragonfly" was born." - cARLA bURKE
