I'm really quite bad at coming up with plot ideas. I like to create characters and just see what will happen to them when I let them loose!

Let children read whatever they want and then talk about it with them. If parents and kids can talk together, we won't have as much censorship because we won't have as much fear.

some changes happen deep down inside of you. And the truth is, only you know about them. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to be.

I do believe that people who write for children are deeply connected to their own childhood.

I can't let safety and security become the focus of my life.

Why are we acting as if we're angry. Are we angry?

Librarians save lives by handing the right book at the right time to a kid in need.
