Concentrate On How Good If

Kids Should Read Whatever They Want To Read. So I'm Hoping That Just Like 15-year-olds Read "summer Sisters," I'm Hoping That They'll Read This.

I Use A Computer, But Before I Begin Each New Book I Keep A Notebook. I Write Down Everything That Comes To Mind During That Period Before I Actually Begin. It Might Take Months Or Weeks. That Notebook Is My Security Blanket So That I Never Have To Face A Blank Screen (or Blank Page). But I Print Out Often And My Best Ideas Usually Come With A Pencil In My Hand.

I Love Picture Books. I Think Some Of The Best People In Children's Books Are The Ones Who Create Their Own Picture Books. I Wish I Could Say I'm One Of Them, But I'm Not.

I Wasn't Interested In The Kinds Of Books That I Thought I Should Be Reading.

Librarians Save Lives By Handing The Right Book At The Right Time To A Kid In Need.
