As far as young kids go, my primary interest is to get parents to read to their kids. That's about the most you can do, I think.

I love children, and most of my involvement now has to do with children or youth programs.

I'm a mentor to anybody who's interested.

I feel lucky that my career so far has included books for adults and books for kids. They're equally important to me, and I hope I get to continue writing both.

I'm happy to be helping people that are passionate about empowering parents for student learning.

I'll happily mentor anyone who wants mentoring, and most of that goes on by internet rather than face to face.

Taking the time to read to children is not only a worthwhile investment but also a wonderful experience. I have visited 119 schools in Maine, and these visits are among the most rewarding experiences in my career in public service.

I teach for the Book Trust, which promotes reading and writing with children.

I'm trying to reestablish my career and do great work and give my kids the life they deserve.

I would like to see every parent either directly - if they are comfortable with the technology - or through a personal tutor, being able to access real-time information about their child.
