Having my book, The Most Magnificent Thing, hit the 100,000 books sold mark was pretty terrific (though it has now quadrupled that)!
When I was a kid, my dream was to work in animation when I grew up. Somewhere along the way I realized that I lacked the basic drawing skills to be an animator, but now two of my works have been/ are being developed into animated films. That makes my 11-year old self squeal
with excitement.
