What is the aim or goal of your writing: 2nd ed. says, " Somehow I got into writing children's books. Not what I envisaged in the beginning. But I like children. I also like animals, and my nonfiction is mostly about nature subjects and animals. I should say that my chief philosophy is conservation and ecology. I am APPALLED to hear that Michigan wants to shoot wolves! Shameful! The Detroit Public Library was founded by my father. His name is engraved on the marble in the entrance."
