From author Diane E. B. Bray: "I began writing First Generation to teach children to be responsible for their pets. I wanted to show them that pets are living creatures deserving of proper care and respect. It developed into much more. First Generation is the story of great-great grandmother Annie, an iguana, who was brought to the United States from Mexico. It follows her capture, journey, and acclimation to her new home."

Diane Bray's words are simple, rhyming, and straight to the point. Bill Bray has created music amidst inspiration from Diane's words, allowing the tempo to unfold from the poetic rhythm and the music to evolve from the message. The Silent No Longer Collection began as eight verses of a poem; written to express Diane's solidarity with and support for the 99 percent/Occupy movements. It grew to a 21 verse call to action. As each day another social or humanitarian issue needed to be addressed, another verse came to life.
