凯瑟琳·拉斯基多年来一直对猫头鹰有着强烈的爱好。几年前，她开始对猫头鹰及其生活习第二册性进行广泛研究，她原计划写一部关于猫头鹰的非小说类文学作品，书中配上丈夫拍摄的照片作为插画。然而后来她意识到，由于猫头鹰是夜行性动物，易受惊吓，不易被人发现，这个计划开展起来将会非常困难。于是她决定改写一部讲述猫头鹰世界的奇幻小说。在小说中，猫头鹰会说话，会思考，还会做梦，尽管如此，她还是会在这个虚构的世界里加入描写它们自然本性的内容。

凯瑟琳·拉斯基写过很多小说和非小说类文学作品。她和丈夫合作著有多部非小说类文学作品，包括：荣获“纽伯瑞儿童文学奖”银奖的《糖衣时代》，《世界上最美丽的屋顶》，由于在非小说类文学方面作出的杰出贡献，她还荣获“波士顿环球报号角书奖”和“华盛顿知识类儿童读物奖”。
