If I could make a career out of drawing little girls hiding in corners, I would do really well.

I'm structured with time.

Some of it just involved thinking about, for example, the different kinds of science, what chemistry is.

It would look like a notebook with dividers, and there'd be different subjects and things [preschoolers] could do, so that they could feel like they were going to school also.

One of my favorite moments in that book [As Easy as Falling Off the Face of the Earth] was when something happened that I had no idea was going to happen.

A long time ago, I had an idea to make a book for preschoolers who had older siblings who were going to school.

We had a dog, Lucky, who was fourteen years old. For the last year of his life, I would take him on these walks that were long but didn't cover much distance.
