When is your birthday?
My birthday is November 18th, which means that I share it with many new families. November 18th is National Adoption Day!

Hair color?
Black. I have coarse hair, called bristles, on my legs - all six of them!

Eye color?
Black. I have two large bulging eyes; each eye has roughly 20,000 lenses, or tinier eyes. I can see all around me - even behind me - as far as 15 miles away!

Where do you live?
I am a very unusual dragonfly, because I have moved into a web - a web site, that is. I also live in the imaginations of many children, where I help kindle a love of reading.

Are you married?
I am married to a very nice dragonfly named Kinder, which means children, and is part of the word kindergarten.

Do you have children?
I have about 100,000 children, but they've all moved away from home.

Do you have pets?
Oh no! Puppies and kittens love to chase dragonflies.

Do you have siblings?
Yes. I have tens of thousands of brothers and sisters, although I'm not sure exactly how many.

Where did you go to school?
Children have always been my best teachers because they love to talk about books, movies, sports and games.

I like Eliza and the Dragonfly by Susie Caldwell Rinehart. I also like classic fairy tales, especially ones by the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen: Hansel and Gretel, The Princess and the Pea, Thumbelina, Rapunzel and The Ugly Duckling.

Favorite movies?
Some of my favorites are A Bug's Life, Peter Pan (Tinkerbell is very cool!), FernGully: The Last Rainforest and Toy Story (because I like Buzz Lightyear). I like The Land Before Time, too, because some of my ancestors were around when dinosaurs roamed the Earth.

Looping the loop and twirling through spirals have always been my favorite sports.
