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.

When I started to write, it was the '70s, and throughout that decade, we didn't have any problems with book challenges or censorship.

When [books ban] happened, I felt completely alone and that was scary and sad.

I never read a horse book in my life. But I thought that's what my friends were reading and that's what I should be reading. And this was "Dobbin Does This" and "Dobbin Does That."

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.

I'm a people person. I never get tired of watching people, especially young people.

I like to read fiction best and I like to write fiction, too.
