I'm structured with time.

The morning time is also a time when I look at what I did yesterday. That's often a jumping-off point for today.

I don't think about it that much, but sometimes I am surprised by that. I sometimes wonder why I didn't turn out to be the kind of picture-book writer who has stuffed animals that go with their books. That would be okay with me.

I knew what infinity was. Being a previous art student, I knew about some art concepts.

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

I'm heavily influenced by Edward Ardizzone, how he has people talking in little speech bubbles. I love those. And also Edward Gorey. Those are two of my favorite people.

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