“When adults read a book, they're two feet away; when children read it, they're right inside it.”
Peggy Rathmann

“You need a reason to be sad. You don't need a reason to be happy.”
Louis Sachar, Sideways Stories from Wayside School

“You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.”
Madeleine L'Engle

“Anyone who does anything to help a child in his life is a hero to me.”
Fred Rogers

“I can't make those two realities -- what I've lost and what I've found -- fit together in some tidy pattern of divine causality. I just have to hold them on the one hand and on the other, just like that.”
Kate Braestrup, Here If You Need Me
