It’s a privilege to write for kids because when they connect with a book, they give themselves over to it so wholeheartedly. Writing was an extension of that love for reading. I read some books so many times, it was like they became a part of me. What first inspired you to write for young readers?Īs a kid, I was a voracious reader and re-reader.
