The books that will never be read. And all due to the fear of censorship. As always, young readers will be the real losers.
I loved to read, and I think any child who loves to read will read anything, including the back of the cereal box, which I did every morning.
What I remember when I started to write was how I couldn't wait to get up in the morning to get to my characters.
Let children read whatever they want and then talk about it with them. If parents and kids can talk together, we won't have as much censorship because we won't have as much fear.
Ideas seem to come from everywhere - my life, everything I see, hear, and read, and most of all, from my imagination. I have a lot of imagination.
