I don't ever go on the Internet. I don't even know how it works.

Don't stop now. Go ahead! Be readers all of your lives. And don't forget, librarians and teachers can help you find the right books to read.

I was a great reader of fairy tales. I tried to read the entire fairy tale section of the library.

I enjoy writing for third and fourth graders most of all.

All knowledge is valuable to a librarian.

I had a bad time in school in the first grade. Because I had been a rather lonely child on a farm, but I was free and wild and to be shut up in a classroom - there were 40 children on those days in the classroom, and it was quite a shock.

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