“As readers can probably tell from my books, I love the outdoors.” — Sharon Creech Quote

“As readers can probably tell from my books, I love the outdoors.”

“I once fell 20 feet from a tree, was knocked unconscious, and when I picked myself up and straggled home, my parents thought I was making it up. However, when my brother and I fabricated a story about an encounter with a bear, they believed that! So maybe I learned very early on that fiction was more interesting to listeners!”

“I cannot just write a frivolous book, a la-di-da book. Everything isn't la-di-da. There is something that's going to pull you up short. I want to reassure young readers. I want to comfort them, to not fear the unexpected.”

“I'm inspired by deep, earthy smells, especially of the outdoors.”

“Spending time outdoors makes you feel great.”

“I hate the outdoors. I'm a big snob.”
