Goodnight stars, goodnight air, goodnight noises everywhere.
A child's own story is a dream, but a good story is a dream that is true for more than one child.
Goodnight nobody, goodnight mush
I won’t let anybody get away with anything just because he is little.
I don't think I'm essentially interested in children's books. I'm interested in writing, and in pictures. I'm interested in people and in children because they are people.
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.
