  1. Why did growing up with chronic pneumonia draw you to read books?
  2. How did receiving 473 rejection letters motivate you?
  3. How have you been able to observe the world through the eyes of children as an adult?
  4. What can children take away from reading your new book “The Puppets of Spelhorst”?
  5. What’s your best piece of career advice?
