However, my inspiration for writing children's stories came from my grandchildren, they would make little statements, and tell little lies, so decided to put their actions and words into a book, it was so easy to write about them because they were always talking to me. I always listen to them and add into their conversation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI trust that they will read my books to their children, listen to their children, and someday become authors themselves.
