I always love writing about children.

My love of literature goes back to my childhood.

It's a wonderful thing to write for children.

I hope children will be happy with the books I've written, and go on to be readers all of their lives.

I have always loved reading books for children and young adults, particularly when those books are mysteries.

I always loved reading. Growing up, my favorite book was 'A Child's Garden of Verses,' by Robert Louis Stevenson.

It's such a thrill when an adult comes up to me and says, 'I read your book as a child and really loved it.' That's a tremendous compliment.

I think children love reading, and they will make time for it if we put the right books into their hands. And I hope I get the chance to keep being one of the people that writes them.

My writing works best when I remember that bookish child who adored reading and gear the work toward him.

Frankly, writing poetry for children is plain old fun, and I consider myself blessed to have such a delightful career.
