Este autor versátil ha construido un extenso cuerpo de obra a lo largo de una carrera de treinta y cinco años, abarcando poesía, reseñas, ensayos, cortometrajes, videos y más de cuarenta libros ilustrados para niños. Su escritura abarca una amplia gama de temas, desde historias para preescolares hasta relatos de supervivencia y biografías dirigidas a niños mayores. Este enfoque de amplio alcance surge de una inclinación fundamental a ser un generalista. Además de escribir, también es un pintor activo cuyas obras de arte han sido presentadas en galerías.
