Ten years ago, J. B. Gill decided to make a change. He moved from the city to start his own farm. As one of the members of a pop group, Gill had lived a busy life but the farm gave him a way to relax.
十年前，吉尔决定做出改变。他从城里搬来开自己的农场。作为一个流行乐队的成员之一，吉尔过着繁忙的生活，但农场让他放松。
Although farming was new to him, Gill took the challenge and his experiences helped him write his book Ace and the Animal Heroes. The story follows Ace, whose life changes greatly when he moves to the countryside. After trying on a pair of magical wellies, Ace realizes he can speak to the animals, who make up their minds to protect the farm.
虽然农场对他来说是个新鲜事，但吉尔接受了挑战，他的经历帮助他写了一本书《艾斯与动物英雄》。故事讲述的是艾斯，当他搬到农村时，他的生活发生了巨大的变化。在试穿了一双神奇的长筒靴后，艾斯意识到他可以和动物们说话，它们下定决心保护农场。
Gill says that if he had his own pair of magical wellies, he would love to speak to wildlife, especially the wild deer that sometimes appear near his farm. As they have no owners, Gill feels like he’s sharing their home. “It’s really interesting to hear what they’re thinking and know where they’re at,” he said.
吉尔说，如果他有自己的一双神奇的长筒靴，他会喜欢和野生动物说话，尤其是有时出现在农场附近的鹿。由于鹿没有主人，吉尔觉得自己在和鹿合租。他说：“听到它们在想什么，知道它们在哪里，真的很有趣。”
Gill got his ideas for writing from the animals on his family farm. His children, Ace and Chiara, helped out with his book. Together, Gill’s family made sure that the pictures in the book looked like the animals they’d been based on. He said, “All of those have been really great to piece the whole book together.”
吉尔的写作灵感来自于他家庭农场里的动物。他的孩子艾斯和基娅拉帮助他写了这本书。吉尔的家人一起确保书中的图片看起来像他们农场里的动物。他说：“所有这些都非常棒，一起创作了这本书。”
