My stories are more than fairy tales. I wanted children to feel the thrill of sports like boxing, dancing, football, swimming, wrestling, and ice skating—to embrace passion, discipline, and triumph.

I wanted children to admire the courage of firefighters and police officers, the compassion of doctors, the brilliance of engineers, the artistry of designers and musicians, the strategy of chess players, the excitement of travelers and pilots, the dedication of farmers, and the determination of bankers and entrepreneurs. I wanted them to see themselves in these roles—to dream, to strive, and one day, to become the heroes they once read about.
