No one has ever asked me that question before. I suppose I am drawn to writing for children because my own inner child is alive and well. I am able to see the world of a child from her point of view.
All of my children's poetry is written from a child's point of view. Children have such an innocent wonder about the world they live in. I like to think I am a grown up friend who can help to answer those questions.
I have eleven grandchildren, too, Onihime, and I watch, learn and listen when I am with them. That could also play a role in writing for children --they say and ask the most wonderful things!
Thank you for your question.

I found your Vietnam blog very interesting. My new volume of poetry, Monkey Screams (FutureCycle Press) contains a section of Vietnam poems that I think might interest you. I'll be happy to send you a copy for possible comment or review if you'd be interested? Thanks. Bob Stout
