Q&A
Who is your favorite cartoon character?
I was a Looney Toons fan. I think my favorite was Sylvester the Cat and Tweety Bird.
What storybook do you remember from your childhood?
My favorite picture book was Madeline by Ludwig Bemelmans. I loved her fierce attitude. More importantly, it showed Madeline in the hospital AND showing off her scar. I was a kid who spent a lot of time in a hospital. It was rare for me to find book characters I identified with.
What is your super power?
I have been told that I’m a walking encyclopedia of random information. I love doing research for my nonfiction and informational fiction projects. I love sharing all the fascinating facts I find.
