We see that in the top problems in the world between haves and have-nots, generally we find that the root cause is education.
Education is very important, and the botanical garden is the place to do that. I grew up in a semi-rural area and learned from that being my playground.
I grew up in Des Moines. My dad had a house full of books, things like P.G. Wodehouse books and 'Wuthering Heights' by Emily Bronte.
In Brooklyn, I don't feel that I'm holding up people with briefcases if I catch a stroller wheel in the sidewalk.
Now I can look back and say I actually like the upbringing I had and my father was very attentive and a great educator.
I'm very jealous of my daughter's education. She's been inspired by her teachers, and nobody inspired me as a teenager.
I hope people who read my books feel empathy for us and really see us as complicated people.
I grew up with three brothers, so nearly everything I had was destroyed or made fun of.
Canada had the good health-care system and educational system. It was a privilege for me to grow up there.
