我
"The snowman came to life in my imagination long before he appeared on paper."
"I don't think of my work as being for children or for adults. I just think of it as being."
"Don't write down to children. They're much smarter than we think."
"I love to make people laugh, especially kids."
I like to leave space for the reader's imagination to work.
Children understand more than we often give them credit for.
I love playing with the physicality of books - flaps, holes, different sizes.
I think children are the best critics because they're completely honest.
The best monsters are the ones that show us something true about ourselves.
We carry our homes with us, even when we're far away.
The most magical things often happen in the corners of our vision.
Childhood is a foreign country we've all visited but can't quite remember.
I'm interested in that space between words and pictures where meaning vibrates.
The best stories don't come from "good vs. bad" but from the small, quiet moments that reveal our shared humanity.
"I want to create books that are experienced, not just read."
"Ink is my favorite language - it speaks in shadows and light."
"I believe children's books should be beautiful objects, treasured and revisited."
"Drawing is like a diary to me, a way of expressing my thoughts and feelings visually."
Writing is my way of being in the world.
A good book should be an axe to break the frozen sea within us.
