“I read a couple of books a week. About 80 percent of what I read is contemporary literature for adults. The other 20 percent is made up of non-fiction and children's books.”

“Writing my own stories had always been one of my dreams, but I didn't start until I was 29. I was working in a book warehouse and was assigned to the third floor where all the children's books were. For four and a half years, I spent all day, every day around children's books, and it wasn't long before I fell in love with them.”

“Don't let people look down on you because you're young. I think adults can learn a lot from kids, just like kids learn a lot from adults. It's vice versa.”

“The voice of a kid can be so much more touching than an adult voice.”

“I had to be an adult very quickly and didn't have any friends.”
