“Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.”
― Margaret Mead

“A childhood without books – that would be no childhood. That would be like being shut out from the enchanted place where you can go and find the rarest kind of joy.”
― Astrid Lindgren

“No one will protect what they don't care about; and no one will care about what they have never experiened”
― David Attenborough

“Children whose families take them to museums and zoos, who visit historic sites, who travel abroad, or who camp in remote areas accumulate huge chunks of background knowledge without even studying. For the impoverished child lacking the travel portfolio of affluence, the best way to accumulate background knowledge is by either reading or being read to.”
― Jim Trelease, The Read-Aloud Handbook
