Reading this post makes memories flood back. I remember the impact of so many books on me, and later on my students and kids. It’s that legacy that you leave now, and that all creators of kids’ books leave. What an amazing profession, huh? Good work and a whole lot of fun!

I cannot imagine a world without hardcover picture books.
Last week I visited a school in far remote Australia where I watched as a little indiginous girl ran her fingers over the pages of my picture book ‘Flame Stands Waiting.’
Her fingers paused and touched Flame. She took her time to be carried away with him. You can’t do that with a screen based book.

Yes, Chris. I agree with every word you have written.
Picture books are a gift for life.

And in spite of being a good girl you have a lot of fun and are pretty wild! Thinking about the impact of picture books, I will say that a picture book influenced my career direction. I’m sure that others influenced other parts of my life.
