I've been traveling so much that I tend to forget about the place where I actually live. I've been in the Boston area for more than 12 years now, on and off, and I think it's one of the best places for a children's book author and illustrator. I love when children's books seep into the real world like...
a children's bookstore called Curious George,

or a tree made into Pooh's house,

and a statue of ducklings.
