I've Been Influenced By Poets

I Look For Poetry In English Because It's The Only Language I Read.

Children Seem Naturally Drawn To Poetry - It's Some Combination Of The Rhyme, Rhythm, And The Words Themselves.

We All Need Ways To Express Ourselves, And Poetry Is One Of Mine.

Writing Gives Me The Opportunity To Explore Ideas, Play With Language, Solve Problems, Use My Imagination, And Draw On My Own Childhood.

There's Not Too Much Difference Between Writing A Picture Book And Writing A Collection Of A Hundred Poems Or So, Except That The Bigger Books Take A Lot Longer To Do.
