Laurie Frankel
“How did you teach your small human that it’s what’s inside that counts when the truth was everyone was pretty preoccupied with what you put on over the outside too?”
Laurie Frankel, This Is How It Always Is

Laurie Frankel
“I wish for my child, for all our children, a world where they can be who they are and become their most loved, blessed, appreciated selves.”
Laurie Frankel, This Is How It Always Is

Fredrik Backman
“When you're a child you long to be an adult and decide everything for yourself, but when you're an adult you realize that's the worst part of it.”
Fredrik Backman, Anxious People

Michelle Obama
“Now I think it’s one of the most useless questions an adult can ask a child—What do you want to be when you grow up? As if growing up is finite. As if at some point you become something and that’s the end.”
Michelle Obama, Becoming

Fredrik Backman
“Because perhaps it's true what they say, that up to a certain age a child loves you unconditionally and uncontrollably for one simple reason, you're theirs. Your parents and siblings can love you for the rest of your life, too, for precisely the same reason.”
Fredrik Backman, Anxious People
