But I've continued to do so because over the years I've come to realize that it's where I'm happiest. It is, I think, a matter of personal development (or lack of it, as the case may be). There are several peculiarities that I share with children which, like having no front teeth, are perhaps more acceptable in the very young, but which, for better or worse, seem to be a part of my makeup.   First of all, there is optimism. Since growth and hope are almost synonymous no one begrudges a child's natural optimism, but a writer's is another matter. It's not fashionable to write optimistically for adults, nor I must admit, even very sensible, given the world we live in today. But my own optimism seems to be organic, perhaps due to \"a bad memory and a good digestion\" (a quote that I can't attribute due to the aforementioned failing).   Secondly, there is curiosity. Mine is as intense as a three-year-old's, but where a three-year-old's most obnoxious trait might be asking \"Why\" several hundred times a day, I am given to eavesdropping on conversations, peering into backyards and lighted windows, and even reading other people's mail if I get a chance.   And thirdly there is a certain lack of reverence for factual limitations and a tendency to launch out into the far reaches of possibility.  So I enjoy writing for an audience that shares my optimism, curiosity and freewheeling imagination. I intend to go on writing for some time, and though I may occasionally try something for adults, I will always come back to children's books, where I am happiest and most at home."},{"label":"Search SCL Digital Archives for this Author","value":["Snyder, Zilpha Keatley, 1927-"]},{"label":"Search Author or Book in Library Catalog","value":"Search for works by Zilpha Keatley Snyder in the <a href=\"https://find.sonomalibrary.org/client/en_US/default/search/results?qu=%22Snyder%2C+Zilpha+Keatley%22&te=&rt=false%7C%7C%7CAuthor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">library catalog</a>"},{"label":"Author Website","value":"View <a href=\"https://www.zksnyder.com/ \" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">personal or professional website</a> for Zilpha Keatley Snyder"},{"label":"Search Author in Open Library","value":"Search for works by Zilpha Keatley Snyder in <a href=\"https://openlibrary.org/search/authors?q=Snyder+Zilpha+Keatley\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Open Library</a>"},{"label":"Author's Place(s) of Residence","value":["Rohnert Park","Santa Rosa"]},{"label":"Sort Title","value":"Zilpha Keatley Snyder (1927-)"},{"label":"Significant Title","value":"The Witches of Worm"},{"label":"Digital Archives Identifier","value":"zilpha_keatley_snyder"},{"label":"Digital Archives Collection Name(s)","value":["Sonoma County Local Authors"]},{"label":"Date Added","value":"2014/09/22"},{"label":"Filename","value":"zilpha_keatley_snyder.jpg"},{"label":"Title","value":"Zilpha Keatley Snyder (1927-)"},{"label":"Item Type","value":["Text"]},{"label":"Item Format or Genre","value":["Biography files","Bibliographies","Portraits","Photographs"]},{"label":"Search SC Local Arts for this Author or Artist","value":"<a href=\"https://digital.sonomalibrary.org/documents?filter_363=zilpha_keatley_snyder&applyState=true\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zilpha Keatley Snyder (1927-)</a>"},{"label":"Collection(s)","value":["Sonoma County Local Authors"]},{"label":"Author Name (Controlled)","value":["Zilpha Keatley Snyder (1927-)"]}],"description":"Zilpha Keatley Snyder (1927-)","sequences":[{"@type":"sc:Sequence","canvases":[{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/4f66edd8-8409-4e4a-9f28-1ebd2f994a9f/canvas/_1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"Zilpha Keatley Snyder (1927-)","height":450,"width":437,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/4f66edd8-8409-4e4a-9f28-1ebd2f994a9f/full/full/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/4f66edd8-8409-4e4a-9f28-1ebd2f994a9f","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json","tiles":[{"width":512,"scaleFactors":[1]}]},"height":450,"width":437},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/4f66edd8-8409-4e4a-9f28-1ebd2f994a9f/canvas/_1","metadata":[]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/4f66edd8-8409-4e4a-9f28-1ebd2f994a9f/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}}]}],"thumbnail":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/4f66edd8-8409-4e4a-9f28-1ebd2f994a9f/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","logo":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/logo"}
