I'm lucky that so many children visit my website. At least I get to talk with them that way.

There's no book or play or series or anything that speaks to everyone, because then it wouldn't speak to anyone.

First of all I can only focus on one creative project at a time. I wish I could focus on two, because I really only write.

Like my mother said, you can't go back to holding hands

In this age of censorship, I mourn the loss of books that will never be written, I mourn the voices that will be silenced-writers' voices, teachers' voices, students' voices-and all because of fear.

I don't necessarily want to talk about a book that I read. Even when I love it.

We must, we must, we must increase our bust.
