In his own words:

With various of my books I attempt with bridge the gap involving the house plus school. To me house
represents, or could represent; warmth, protection, toys, carrying hands, being held. School
is a unusual plus hot region for a child. Will it be a happy region? There are hot persons, a
instructor, classmates—will they be friendly?

I believe the passage from house with school is the 2nd largest trauma of childhood; the
initially is, naturally, being born. Indeed, inside both instances you leave a destination of warmth plus
security for 1 which is unknown. The unknown frequently brings worry with it. In my books I
try with counteract this worry, with substitute it with a positive content. I believe which
youngsters are naturally creative plus eager with discover. I like to show them which understanding is
absolutely both fascinating plus fun.
