To write for children at all is an act of faith.
Art is communication.
Wild nights are my glory!
Only Christ can free us from the prison of legalism, and then only if we are willing to be freed.
If I have something I want to say that is too difficult for adults to swallow, then I will write it in a book for children.
A self is not something static, tied up in a pretty parcel and handed to the child, finished and complete. A self is always becoming.
