I write in longhand on yellow legal pads.

I had a very wise mother. She always kept books that were my grade level in our house.

I just wrote about childhood as I had known it.

I didn't start out writing to give children hope, but I'm glad some of them found it.

I think the best teachers had a real interest in the subject they were teaching and a love for children.

I read my books aloud before they were published.

What interests me is what children go through while growing up.
