Grown-ups desperately need to feel safe, and then they project onto the kids. But what none of us seem to realize is how smart kids are. They donโt like what we write for them, what we dish up for them, because itโs vapid, so theyโll go for the hard words, theyโll go for the hard concepts, theyโll go for the stuff where they can learn something. Not didactic things, but passionate things.

Maurice SendakChildren are the best living audience in the world because they are so thoroughly honest.
