Do not let fear confine your life Inside a shell of doubt; A turtle never moves until His head is sticking out.

Enter the writing process with a childlike sense of wonder and discovery. Let it surprise you.

I write poems for children to help them celebrate the joy and wonder of their world and to look at their lives from the inside out. I write humorous poems to tickle the funny bone of their imaginations.

The greatest reward for a children's author is in knowing that our efforts might stir the minds and hearts of young readers with a vision and wonder of the world and themselves that may be new to them or reveal something already familiar in new and enlightening ways.

Don't search for inspiration when you have a task to do; Just start your work and you will see that it will soon find you.

Do not let fear confine your life Inside a shell of doubt; A turtle never moves until His head is sticking out.
