Quote

I love picture books. I think some of the best people in children's books are the ones who create their own picture books. I wish I could say I'm one of them, but I'm not.

We are friends for life. When we’re together the years fall away. Isn’t that what matters? To have someone who can remember with you? To have someone who remembers how far you’ve come?

I never thought about writing. I was married young, I was still in college, as we did then, and I had two babies before I was 25, and I loved them, and I loved taking care of them, but I was a little bit cuckoo, staying at home and not having a creative outlet.

I meet people on the street or at book signings and they tend to treat me as if they know me, as if we're connected. It's great.

Censors never go after books unless kids already like them. I don’t even think they know to go after books until they know that children are interested in reading this book, therefore there must be something in it that’s wrong.

First of all I can only focus on one creative project at a time. I wish I could focus on two, because I really only write.

I kept a diary as a teenager but I never would have shared it with anyone. Still, I think it's very good practice to write things down.

What I remember when I started to write was how I couldn't wait to get up in the morning to get to my characters.

Do not let anyone discourage you. If they try: get determined, not depressed.

I love to talk with children. I try to visit schools but it's hard for me to travel when I'm trying to write. Some authors are able to do both.

you can't deny they ever happened. You can't deny you ever loved them, love them still, even if loving them causes you pain
