So hard to choose, but I guess if I had to pick just one…McElligot’s Pool by Dr. Seuss
What’s your favorite line from a book?

Why did you want to become an author or illustrator?
I wanted to invite people inside my imagination so that we could spend time there together.
Do you have any advice for future authors or illustrators?
Don’t be embarrassed of liking things that your friends don’t like. Love your weird “nerdy” interests intensely and passionately. Those interests are going to supply the ingredients that make your stories unique.
