“There is no genre of writing I love more than writing for children.  I love everything about it.  I love the honest simplicity of the characters and their emotions.  I love the limitless, but believable boundaries to which I can take my tales.  I love the underlying meanings in children’s books that remain as true (or more true) in adulthood as they are in our youth.  Most of all, I love the audience. Children are still innocent!  They still want to learn and imagine and believe in beauty and adventure and excitement and love and peace and hope.  They still want to read and they still want you to read to them.  I see it in their eyes when I share a story and I hear it in their voices when they ask for more.  Yes, I love children’s books.  I’m lucky to be in a world in which I can share my passion and I dream of writing for and captivating the youngest audiences for as long as I live.”
