"When I was a kid - 12, 14, around there - I would much rather have been a good baseball player or a hit with the girls. But I couldn't play ball, I couldn't dance... So, I started to draw and to write. I was... lucky that I didn't have anyone to copy, be impressed by. I had developed my own style, I was creating before I knew there was a Thurber, a Benchley, a Price and a Steinberg. I never saw their work till I was around 30." - Anna Haro

I've given "The Missing Piece" as a gift to close friends who have lost someone close. It's a great sentiment to hold close. - Shellee

I memorized 2 dozen or so of his poems and used them when I was teaching. The kids loved them. He has such fun with words. And the Giving Tree is one of the most beautiful stories ever. - Charlene Kingston
