This book was inspired by her son's love for medieval knights. As he would pore over the various knight books, she realized that the age of the page was the same age as a grade 1 student, the squire a grade 8 student and a knight was the same ages as those who go to university. This lead her to write a story of why we go to school and how to behave knightly and that the new age knights are those who qualify at university and their graduation ceremony is their dubbing ceremony into the knighthood of the profession they have chosen.
