Emily Thornton Calvo
“The wall between writing and painting is just good grammar.

Moderation in moderation.

Fun is scary with a happy ending.

Just love. If love doesn’t transform that which annoys you, it will be easier to tolerate.”
Emily Thornton Calvo

Maureen Johnson
“The package contained a collection of envelopes much like the first. They were all blue. They were all made of heavy paper. Good quality. The kind from one of those boutique paper stores. The front of each envelope was either illustrated in pen and ink or watercolor, and they were bundled together with an overstretched rubber band that had been doubled around them.”
Maureen Johnson, 13 Little Blue Envelopes
