What a wonderful time we are having in New York City, what an honor to meet all these wonderful authors - and most especially - Peter Glassman (owner of Books of Wonder)...what a fantastic person, dedicated and amazing! Pure joy....
I’ve always believed in magic.
As a child, I remember people being terribly curious about my bright red hair (which was very, very bright indeed.) Kids sometimes asked if it made me feel different, magical. I used to think about this quite a bit.
I’ve lived in lots of places, on a real farm, and in a big city high rise, on a tropical beach, and in the beautiful country of France. Now I live in northern California, between redwood trees and the sea.
I’ve read such nice words about my books - like: fun, engaging, delightful. Some folks have said I deliver timeless messages of love that kids and parents share again and again. This really makes me very happy.
I hope you enjoy my books, and that my rhymes stick in your head like gooey taffy. I truly believe in my work - in "captivating children with poetry", as celebrated in the New York Times Book Review, Fall 2006. And, I live my life with this in mind, always.
