""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.""
