Christopher Paul Curtis: Hi, my name is Christopher Paul Curtis, and I want to tell you a little bit about why my name is Christopher Paul Curtis. When I was a writing my first book I would sit at the computer in the library and I would say to myself, "One day my name is going to be in this computer as an author." And so I typed in the name Christopher Curtis, sure enough there was another author named Christopher Curtis. His book was called "How To Be Your Own Chimney Sweep" so I decided I had to do something to differentiate myself from that Christopher Curtis, so I added the Paul.
