Mary Casanova píše příběhy, které mají smysl a které děti nemohou odložit. Její díla, inspirovaná životem na hranici mezi Minnesotou a Kanadou i výzkumem na cestách po světě, zkoumají témata, která oslovují mladé čtenáře. Casanova považuje za největší odměnu to, když jí mladý čtenář řekne, že má rád její knihu, protože pro ni je psaní způsobem komunikace mezi autorem a čtenářem. Slova jsou její štětec, její způsob, jak prozkoumávat svět kolem sebe, a ona si užívá sdílení své vášně pro psaní a čtení s dětmi i dospělými.
