“Your work - in even the smallest things - it is a mirror of you.”
Tony Johnston, Beast Rider: A Novel

“Then my abuelita booms out words, loud and clear. She always says the words should be round as dimes and as wild as blossoms blooming.”
Tony Johnston, My Abuelita: A Picture Book About Spanish Stories and a Loving Grandmother for Kids

“I'll take you and BAKE you. A witch came sneaky~sneaky~sneaky. "I'll take you and bake you," she said. And she gave it a pat. The pumpkin tried to look very scary. But it just looked big and FAT. The witch reached for it. But--she hid instead. Girls and Boys--- searching, seeking, peeking.”
Tony Johnston, Very Scary
