I had always loved to write and my mom was my editor for my school papers.
Most people actually think I'm more like my mom because we're interested in the same things.
As I've gotten older, my mannerisms are more and more like my mom's. Also, she was an educator - she's extremely passionate about education and children. I guess I inherited that in some way.
I'm more like my father, personality-wise. But my mom and I get alone really well, obviously, because my mom and my dad get along so well.
I'm sure there were times when I wish I had thought, 'Gosh, that might really embarrass mom and dad,' but our parents didn't raise us to think about them. They're very selfless and they wanted us to have as normal of a college life as possible. So really, we didn't think of any repercussions.
[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.
[My mom] had always wanted to write a children's book. She was a children's librarian and an elementary school teacher, so of course she loves children and children's literature.
I think I've become more like my mom just because of what we're both interested in, children and teaching and writing.
We can all agree on the importance of voting.
You have to give kids things they're interested in reading. That's what teachers do who are engaged in what their students want.
It's not like he called me up and asked me. They've never wanted to throw us into that world, and I think our decision probably shocked them. But I love my dad, and I think I'd regret it if I didn't do this.
The world is such a big place, and there's so much that goes on, but a lot of the media really just cover the same thing over and over again.
One day I would love to have a couple children.
Our parents have always encouraged us to be independent and dream big.
