Why am I a writer? When I was a young girl, I wanted to be a teacher. I'd line up my stuffed animals in front of a board and teach them the alphabet and how to count. In high school I wanted to be a tennis player. I was on the tennis team, and played at our neighborhood tennis club. Then in college I thought digging dinosaur bones would be a cool job. It wasn't until I was working at my own public relations agency that I decided I really wanted to write children's books. I was so inspired by the magic of reading a book that I wanted to see if my active imagination could create magical moments for kids...
