Because Portuguese is my first language, the most important thing for me to do first was to learn English. My American grandmother told me that a very good way to do this was to read as many books as possible, and to watch age-appropriate TV programs. This I began to do. I wore my family out taking me to the library to borrow books and to bookstores to buy them.
I soon discovered that one thing I loved to read was mystery stories, like the Harry Potter books or the Nancy Drew Series, and fantasy books like The Chronicles of Narnia, especially “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.”
I am an only child, so a book has often been my companion. When I began writing Monkey Business, I found it was so much fun to create characters by controlling what they said and did. I have so many stories in my head, and I plan to keep on writing them!
My parents love me so much and have encouraged me in writing and playing soccer. I love them more than anything . . . and so I want to dedicate this, my first book, to my American Dad - James Tabb - and to my Mom - Milena Gomes Tabb.lihat lebih sedikit
