I Am Not Scared Of You, I

How We Handle Our Fears Will Determine Where We Go With The Rest Of Our Lives.

I'm A People Person. I Never Get Tired Of Watching People, Especially Young People.

I Know Where "blubber" Came From. It Came From Stories That My Daughter Told Me When She Came Home From Fifth Grade. There Was A Kid In The Class Who Was Being Bullied. We Didn't Even Call It Bullying Then, That's What's So Weird. Victimization In The Classroom. The Word Bully Was So Out, Was So Not In Use For All Those Years And Now It's Back Big Time.

Sometimes I'll Say, "i Wrote That Book," And The Person Will Look At You As If You're Really Strange. One Time That Happened To My Daughter On A Plane. She Was Sitting Next To A Girl Who Was Reading One Of My Books And My Daughter Said, "my Mother Wrote That Book." And The Girl Started To Quiz My Daughter, Asking Her All Sorts Of Questions, Like What Are The Names Of Judy's Children And Where Did She Grow Up. My Daughter Thought It Was So Funny.

I Fell In Love With Books At The Elizabeth Public Library When I Was Four.
