I have over 250 books out. I know that sounds like a lot of books, but I remember writing them, each one at a time. There are picture books, and there are rhymed books, and there are alphabet books, and there are counting rhymes, and there are board books, and there is middle-grade fiction, and there’s nonfiction, and there’s young adult fiction. There are music books, and there are adult books, and there are pedagogical books. And there are books of essays, and there are books on how to write. And the only books that interest me right now are the books I’m working on.
So, I’ve won some awards, and I’ve made some money. And that’s all of no real interest. It’s practical interest, but it’s no interest to me, because what I’m really interested in right now and passionate about are the books that I’m writing now.
