My parents gave me that gift of "reading is a good thing." I mean my mother was afraid of everything. But she was never afraid that Judy is reading.

Having the freedom to read and the freedom to choose is one of the best gifts my parents ever gave me.

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.

Sometimes I can't read my own handwriting. That's a problem!

I was shy, but I stood up in front of the class and I gave my report.I was reporting on books that I didn't want to read. I was inventing books that I didn't want to read.

When you ask, did writing change my life? It totally changed my life. It gave me my life.

Little kids are amazing. They seem able to adjust to anything.
