I was sports editor for my high school newspaper, but I think I shied away from journalism.
[My mom] is quite the strict editor. I feel like maybe she has more of the old-school editing style, which really works in picture books, because you don't want to articulate anything in words that is already shown through the pictures.
A lot of my colleagues at school became great friends of mine.
I had always loved to write and my mom was my editor for my school papers.
