I Wish That Every Baby Everywhere Could

Why Do People Not Listen When You Say No? Why Do They Think You Are Too Stupid Or Too Young To Understand? Why Do They Think You Are Too Shy To Reply? Why Do They Keep Badgering You Until You Will Say Yes?

Then I Thought, Boy, Isn't That Just Typical? You Wait And Wait And Wait For Something, And Then When It Happens, You Feel Sad.

Every Character Is Asking: Whats My Place? Why Am I Here? I Dont Want The Answer To Be Just Because. You Find Your Own Purpose. Each Finds The Reason To Be Here And How To Contribute.

I Enjoy Receiving And Giving Realistic Fiction, For Both Children And Adults, With Strong Characters, Beautiful Language, And Humane Visions.

I Cannot Just Write A Frivolous Book, A La-di-da Book. Everything Isn't La-di-da. There Is Something That's Going To Pull You Up Short. I Want To Reassure Young Readers. I Want To Comfort Them, To Not Fear The Unexpected.
