"Children's books should be both a mirror and a window."

I don’t think you should spend much time being unhappy about the bad breaks. You get a lot of them, but you also get a lot of good ones. The thing to do is just to maximize your odds of using the good ones and minimizing the effects of the bad ones.

Art is a way of thinking about the world.

I don’t like to be afraid. I like to be fearless.
