His work has been honored by the American Library Association, the National Council for the Social Studies, and the American Folklore Society. His stories are enjoyed by the entire range of elementary grades-as well as by older kids and adults. Because Aaron's stories are so perfect for reading aloud, they are wonderful as adapted to Playbooks®. Aaron lives in Southern California. "I've loved books and wanted to be a writer for longer than I can remember. As a kid, I wanted to be a fireman and a writer, or a policeman and a writer, or a lawyer and a writer-but always a writer! I think that's partly because my mother read wonderfully to me when I was very young. Reading to kids is the best way to get them to love reading and writing. For me, a lot of the fun of being an author is going out and reading my stories to kids. I get high on kid energy. Some people are surprised that I've never raised a family of my own. It surprises me too! But in a way, I have many children-all the kids who enjoy my stories."
