Congratulations to Peter Hirsch, Craig Carlisle, Jacqui Deegan, Matt Hoverman, Ditrich Smith and the rest of the Arthur writing team for picking up another Emmy at the 2014 award ceremony! Click here for a quick look at the: 2014 Emmy Win Video (many thanks to Matt’s wife for manning the camera). Sorry it’s so short, but I had to edit it down size-wise to fit here.

Congratulations on creating an enduring franchise Mr. Brown. As you would know, it has been noted that among others things, the Arthur franchise is noted for addressing the existence of learning disabilities such as autism and dyslexia. This has lead me to a question regarding who is in my opinion one of the most compelling of your characters.
Some fans of the franchise have speculated that D.W. Read may have obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Do you feel that there is any credence to this suggestion about D.W.?
D.W.is a combination of my three younger sisters while we were growing up…both good and bad.I will tell you that she is that I have the most fun writing what comes out of her mouth.
