If All You Leave In The Library

[when I Was A Kid] I Was A Surgeon, Amputating Legs And Arms Of My Paper Dolls. And I Had A Little Board With Little Tacks That I Would Tack Them Down To Do This.

I Thought ["summer Sisters" ] Would Be A Children's Book - Two Girls Who Summer Together From Very Different Backgrounds. And Then When It Just Kept Going And Going And Going. They Kept Getting Older.

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.

My Mother Was My Greatest Fan.

The Creative Process; I Enjoy Thinking Up The Stories And Situations For My Books.
