“She learned to read and speak by reading all of the books in her library.”
Coco Calvoz Cordon, Debbie Wants No Words

C.S. Lewis
“I am almost inclined to set it up as a canon that a children's story which is enjoyed only by children is a bad children's story.”
C.S. Lewis, On Three Ways of Writing for Children

Donna Goddard
“It would be hard if you were trying to be someone that you weren’t, but being yourself is the easiest thing in the world because you are already it!”
Donna Goddard, Riverland: For Children and their Young-at-Heart Old Folk

Barbara Cooney
“I believe that children in this country need a more robust literary diet than they are getting. …It does not hurt them to read about good and evil, love and hate, life and death. Nor do I think they should read only about things that they understand. '…a man’s reach should exceed his grasp.' So should a child’s. For myself, I will never talk down to, or draw down to, children.

(from the author's acceptance speech for the Caldecott award)”
Barbara Cooney, Chanticleer and the Fox

Rey Cruz
“Every child deserves a world where their feelings are safe, their imagination is sacred, and their questions are met with love.”
Rey Cruz, Mocha The Dachshund's Adventure at the Museum
