"For a long time, the world arrived at my door in books. Often I
rode my bicycle a couple of miles up to the public library to get
them. I would wander the maze of shelves, scan to see what and
where the next adventure would be, and pull a piece of South
America, or Africa, or the Pacific to hand, turn pages and be
catapulted there. Before my reading days, most of the world I knew
was what I could touch or hear or smell or see right around me. The
Washington, DC area where I grew up was rich with cackling bugs,
leopard and green frogs, tadpoles, box and painted turtles, buzzing
birds, snakes and salamanders, squirrels, rabbits. Occasionally I
would bring one home. For a few days I had thirteen box turtles,
all named Bobby since they looked similar, until I awoke to find
that turtles can be great diggers and they had dug their way to
freedom. What I learned by reading, stayed with me. I didn’t know
then that I wanted to be a writer of books, or an illustrator.
Recently I found a pre-school report card that simply said, “Arthur
loves to draw.” Like a lot of kids I’ve met though, I quit drawing
in the fifth grade, thinking that I could not draw as well as I
wanted. It wasn’t until high school biology class that I started
drawing again, and remembered how much I enjoyed it while taking an
art class with a teacher who said, “everyone can draw.” When I
finished school I traveled to places I had read about—South America
and learned Spanish, the Middle East, Asia, Europe, Australia—and
worked as a builder, draftsman, photographer, farm worker,
longshoreman, short-order cook, and substitute teacher. So no paper
airplanes, please. Finally, talking with neighborhood children
while I worked as a carpenter remodeling houses, I found how much I
liked telling stories. I thought of stories that I could
illustrate, wrote and rewrote to get them in the best shape I
could, and published my first picture book, Pretzels.
