I am inspired by your accomplishments in the area of presenting ecological
issues to children. Your participation at the Pickerington school was
particularly interesting to me, as I think direct contact with children is
the best way to teach and learn from them. Do you do that type of thing
often?
Also, I have been writing children's books for about a year now, focussing on
picture books for young children. My latest project concerns a young girl
experiencing a monsoon, and it is set here in Tucson. The style is poetic
and it should be about 20-25 pages. My question is how did you first get
published, and can you recommend any good publishers that are interested in
this type of work? Also, would you recommend a new writer collaborate with
an already established artist as a way to break in?
thanks,
