![“I never felt inspired to write this book [ I Had Brain Surgery, What's Your Excuse?], like I did with the cat or dog book; I felt compelled. At the time (May 1999), I was planning to write and illustrate an altogether different memoir, a book about my decision whether or not to have a baby.” quote by Suzy Becker](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/83a/suzy-becker-38888_baby_i-never-felt-inspired-to-write-this-book_604243.jpg)
