Throughout my travels, I've learned about different cultures, creatures, and have met many different characters. Whether by chance or fate, one night I dreamt of a family of dung beetles. They were dancing and singing about how much they loved poop. The next morning I realized how much little kids would enjoy this concept when I shared the dream and the song with my nieces and nephews. From there, I set out to write a story that was not only funny and entertaining, but also educational and based on real aspects of the stranger side of nature.
