He is looking for good, original writing: picture books with delicious words, enduring middle grade stories with strong characters and plots, young adult novels with identifiable teens and hopeful, interesting stories for the soon-to-be adult, and nonfiction for children, both picture books and longer works, about original, child-friendly topics. He mentions a good mystery, a ghost story, poetry, theater, and work that dazzles him.
