Describe your latest project.
You think it's easy being the Tooth Fairy? Think again — of stormy nights, dangerous pets, pearly whites hidden in pajama pockets or wrapped in dirty tissues, to say nothing of all those thousands of teeth falling out all over the world every single day. The Tooth Fairy's nights are long and hard. But she's up for it. She never misses a tooth. How does she do it? For the first time ever, she reveals everything right here!
This is my idea of what the Tooth Fairy is really like. Truly, the thought of her as a feisty treasure seeker, rather than the serene fairy of my childhood, makes her so much more interesting. She's Girl Power to the max!
Introduce one other author/illustrator you think people should read, and suggest a good book by him/her.
Everyone should read David Slonim's He Came With the Couch. It's unique and quite endearing.
What is your favorite breakfast cereal?
Kellogg's Raisin Bran. I just adore raisins!
What is your idea of bliss?
Discovering God's purpose for your life and then doing it.
When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I think I wanted to be flight attendant — which were called "stewardesses" back then. But I don't enjoy flying! My ears don't pop — unless I use nifty ear plugs called EarPlanes. They're amazing!
Why do you write books for kids?
Because kids have wonderful brains and love to use their imaginations. Who wouldn't want to write for such an appreciative audience?
What's your favorite holiday and why?
Thanksgiving, for sure, even though I don't like turkey! It's a happy holiday: I get to eat LOTS of great food, usually surrounded by people who mean the world to me.
If you could be someone else, who would that be, and why?
I don't waste time anymore wanting to be someone else. I just want to be the best ME I can be.
Make a question of your own, then answer it.
