It's a way to give me a voice. I'm an introvert. I like to practice conversations and responses. So writing is a way to share my voice and start the conversation with readers. I love to inspire others to be imaginative.

Write from the soul. Clever, plot-driven stories have a place and are lucrative sometimes. But what moves me to write is to write from personal experience. But the writing I enjoy doing is about something mundane/every day and then discovering and sharing the novel, wondrous quality those experiences/things can have when you keep an open mind.

Words are enjoyable to say out loud. That's what drew me to writing a children's book first. Writing and reading are relatively recent activities for humans compared to verbal story-telling. Onomatopoeia, puns, alliteration - all are fun to engage in.

This book challenges the myth that people should only set foot in a kitchen with a recipe. Instilling a love for cooking in children starts with imagination.
