Although your books are beloved in our household, there was a direct correlation between the arrival of DLT in our house and the sudden refusal of our then 3 year old daughter to taste any salsa, despite her enjoyment of it in the days before we read the book. How would you respond to critics saying your DLT series has an anti-salsa agenda?

Also, thank you, these are wonderful books that we've read dozens of times now!

Thank you for doing this AMA. Are there specific laws or even traditions in the way the US government currently operates that presents a hindrance, intentional or not, to better transparency? For example, do you find that FOIA requests to agencies with an interim head are harder to get information from than those led by people who have been appointed and confirmed? Do you think a fully staffed government would be easier or harder to hold accountable for making sure FOIAs are released?
