We speak naturally but spend all our lives trying to write naturally.
A child's own story is a dream, but a good story is a dream that is true for more than one child.
When the groundhog casts his shadow And the small birds sing And the pussywillows happen And the sun shines warm And when the peepers peep Then it is Spring
I won’t let anybody get away with anything just because he is little.
Goodnight nobody, goodnight mush
I wish I didn't have ever to sign my long name on the cover of a book, and I wish I could write a story that would seem absolutely true to the child who hears it and to myself.
