Pistachio nuts, the red ones, cure any problem.

I tried to write with someone else once before, but it was not successful.

I think my books talk about kids learning to like and respect themselves and each other. You can't write a message book; you just tell the best story you know how to tell

I'm very lucky. I'm very fortunate that my books have never gone out of print - none of them

In my next life, I want to be tall and thin, parallel park and make good coffee. But for now, I have lots of stuff to work out in my life, but I'll have that until the day I die. I want to write more books

Mistakes are growth, and we learn not to do it again. But it doesn't make you a terrible person. That's important to me.

I feel like I'm addicted to the printed word.
