Force me to choose my best book, and I always come back to 'Gorilla.' It was the first time I felt I understood what picture books could do.

One of my main decisions when accepting the job of Children's Laureate was that I must continue working on picture books. If I don't write and illustrate for some time, then I begin to question who I am.
