Kids don't know about best sellers. They go for what they enjoy. They aren't star chasers and they don't suck up. It's why I like them.
You don't want to do something that's all terrifying.
There's something in this country that is so opposed to understanding the complexity of children.
There's so much more to a book than just the reading.
I want to see me to the end working, living for myself. Ripeness is all.
Children surviving childhood is my obsessive theme and my life's concern.
