Danielle DeTiberus: “I first understood the power of language when I was five and plagiarized the plot of a Berenstain Bears book for a Mother’s Day gift. She cried; I was hooked. My process hasn’t changed all that much since then, except now I steal images or memories or a snippet from someone else’s conversation. And I use fewer crayons.”
