Cet auteur polyvalent a bâti un vaste corpus d'œuvres au cours d'une carrière de trente-cinq ans, comprenant des poèmes, des critiques, des essais, des films, des vidéos et plus de quarante livres illustrés pour enfants. Son écriture couvre un large éventail de sujets, des histoires pour les tout-petits aux récits de survie et biographies destinés aux enfants plus âgés. Cette approche à large portée découle d'une inclination fondamentale à être un généraliste. En plus d'écrire, il est également un peintre actif dont les œuvres d'art ont été présentées dans des galeries.
