“Every great narrative contains its end in its beginning and its beginning in its end,”

“When we hold a picture book, we have in our hands a pictured world full of ideas. We play with these ideas and play our own ideas around the pictured world. The more skilfull we are, and the more ideas the picture book contains, the more the ideas go on bouncing. And in the process we create something of our very own.”
