I choked up at the end of the story, and I bet you will, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Judy Bradbury: Tell us about this series: What seeded its creation? How did you conceive of the theme\/focus of the Sparrow books? How did you land on the theme for each book?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Gail Donovan: <\/strong>The series came about after a round of rejections for the first book\u2014 at that time, the only book\u2014 <em>Sparrow Being Sparrow<\/em>. My agent said, \u201cI really think we could place this if I could pitch it as a series. Why don\u2019t you come up with a couple more ideas for the character?\u201d That was scary for me. I wasn\u2019t sure if I could do it. But I was determined to find a home for Sparrow, an intense, passionate kid who cares deeply about animals. Since the original story revolved around Sparrow\u2019s quest to care for her neighbor\u2019s seven cats after the neighbor is injured, I realized that subsequent books could each revolve around a different animal story. I worked up ideas for two more books: <em>Sparrow Spreads Her Wings<\/em>, in which Sparrow discovers an injured bird during a winter storm; and <em>Sparrow, Always<\/em>, in which Sparrow desperately wants to help a new neighbor who is raising a puppy to be a future guide dog. My agent sent the manuscript around again with the pitch that it could be a series, and it worked!<em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.judybradbury.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Sparrow-Being-Sparrow-cover.jpg\" width=\"267\" height=\"400\" alt=\"Sparrow Being Sparrow cover\" class=\"wp-image-7824 alignnone size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.judybradbury.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Sparrow-Being-Sparrow-cover.jpg 267w, https:\/\/www.judybradbury.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Sparrow-Being-Sparrow-cover-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 267px) 100vw, 267px\"\/><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.judybradbury.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Sparrow-Spreads-Her-Wings-cover-resized-2.jpg\" width=\"267\" height=\"400\" alt=\"Sparrow Spreads Her Wings cover\" class=\"wp-image-7848 alignnone size-full\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>JB: Tell us about how you decided on the traits Sparrow possesses, her passions, and the personal challenges she faces.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When I am going to begin something new, I always ask myself, <em>who is the character whose story needs to be told\u2014 by <\/em>me<em>? <\/em>I was on the lookout for a new character, wondering who they would be, when I was asked to visit a library\u2019s Smart Girls Read book club. Later I wrote in my journal, \u201cThe girls were fabulous. We sat for 45 minutes as they ate pie and ice cream and we chatted about books and writing. I had a feeling of wanting to write a book for <em>them<\/em>\u2014 those particular eager, interested, curious girls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So that was the first thing I knew about who my new character would be. She\u2019d be a girl. Obviously, that wasn\u2019t enough! I kept waiting for something more specific to come to me.<\/p>\n<p>One evening I lay in bed, falling asleep, thinking about the new character. The girl. At some point in the night I woke up with the words in my mind: TOO MUCH. She could be a girl who feels things too much, gets too excited. I thought, <em>that could be it\u2014 her characteristic,<\/em> and drifted back to sleep. Sometime later, I woke up again. Where was I? Oh, yes\u2014 <em>too much<\/em>. Rambunctious, perhaps. Okay, yes, back to sleep.<\/p>\n<p>I woke again and again with the same thoughts. My brain was telling me: <em>don\u2019t forget. <\/em>After the third or fourth time, I realized that my brain was not going to let me rest, so I got out of bed. The awkward thing was, the weather was hot and I had been sleeping without anything on. So there I was at two in the morning, stark naked, scribbling down the words so I wouldn\u2019t forget: <em>Too much. Too excited. Runs. Rambunctious. What might happen? <\/em><\/p>\n<p>I love this story of the genesis of Sparrow\u2019s character, because it feels like a gift that was given to me. And when you have a character who \u201cfeels things too much,\u201d you know she will butt up against how the world wants her to behave. You know you have a story.<em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>JB: Tell us about a challenge you faced in the creation of <em>Sparrow, Always<\/em>, or provide a memorable (or humorous!) anecdote related to the writing of the book.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>GD: <\/strong>An early reader of the first Sparrow manuscript asked, \u201cDid you mean for her to be autistic?\u201d I was so surprised! I hadn\u2019t had that in mind at all; I was simply trying to write about this particular, passionate kid. However, I could see what the questioner meant. Sparrow has many traits that would fit a diagnosis of being on the autism spectrum.<\/p>\n<p>The question\u2014 to name, or not to name? \u2014 became a big challenge that my editor and I wrestled with in all three books. I acknowledged that if I described Sparrow as being on the autism spectrum, kids with the same diagnosis might feel hugely seen and validated. But I knew that words can also be limiting; if a kid <em>didn\u2019t<\/em> identify with that label, maybe they <em>wouldn\u2019t<\/em> feel seen. In the end, I wanted it to be a story for any kid who struggles with feeling misunderstood, so I decided not to point directly to the word autism as I told Sparrow\u2019s story.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.judybradbury.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Sparrow-Always-interior-illustration-2-resized.png\" width=\"1248\" height=\"900\" alt=\"Sparrow, Always interior illustration\" class=\"wp-image-7815 alignnone size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.judybradbury.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Sparrow-Always-interior-illustration-2-resized.png 1248w, https:\/\/www.judybradbury.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Sparrow-Always-interior-illustration-2-resized-980x707.png 980w, https:\/\/www.judybradbury.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Sparrow-Always-interior-illustration-2-resized-480x346.png 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1248px, 100vw\"\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em style=\"text-align: center; font-size: x-small;\">\u00a0<\/em><em style=\"font-size: x-small; background-color: #ffffff;\">Illustration \u00a9 <\/em><em><span style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;\">Elysia Case<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>JB: What is one unexpected joy that came from the creation of <em>Sparrow, Always<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A little girl from Indiana named Isabelle had sent me a letter saying how much she loved <em>Sparrow Being Sparrow<\/em>, and we continued to correspond. She sent me a drawing, and I was able to send her a \u201csneak peek\u201d of the interior art of <em>Sparrow Spreads Her Wings<\/em> before it came out. Right around this time I was wrapping up edits on <em>Sparrow, Always<\/em>. There\u2019s a scene in the book where happy birthday wishes are being read aloud during school announcements, and I included Isabelle\u2019s name.
