He generously took the time to answer a few questions for me. He recently celebrated the launch of his newest book, The Wooden Prince, the first in his Out of Abaton series, published by Disney-Hyperion Books. John reflected on his Rwanda experience for the World Ark Blog soon after our trip. Since our then, John has continued engaging with teachers and students and sharing his Heifer story.

In 2014, John and I traveled to Rwanda to research a children’s book.
