I did a testing of the different book covers amongst my friends and family and this one was definitely one of the top ones."Ĭhoosing a title and book cover were nothing compared to the process of writing a book steeped in both science and emotion. As soon as I saw one, I thought ‘wow, this makes a lot of sense.' It was not your typical photo of children with dogs-this was a little bit more provocative with the way they were just lying on the grass like that. My publisher had contracted with different designers to come up with designs for the book and this was one of them.

The symphony of his music, and the symphony of the humans and the animals, led her to a new title. It reminded her of Mozart’s music, which she loves. In that moment, she heard humans and animals being content-no one being harmed. She was sitting there on the grass with a pig named Ivy the owners of the sanctuary were in the background chuckling. Akhtar originally planned to title her book With Animals, until she experienced a revelation at Texas Heartland Animal Sanctuary.
