When it comes to writing, my daughter is my biggest inspiration. I love seeing her face light up with excitement when we sit down to read a book before bedtime. My daughter was fascinated by giraffes after we went on a safari trip in late 2012. This planted the seed for my picture book called How Andrew Got His Spots which is a rhyming adaptation of a story I originally wrote in the third grade.

Quotes by Louise Lintvelt (?)

“have never been in love. I am not sure how she knows that she is in love. I looked up the word “love” on the internet last week, and based on information I obtained from Wikipedia, love can refer to many different feelings and can be a feeling or a virtue. I still have no idea how Melanie Harris knows that she is in love.”
