“Read. Everything you can get your hands on. Read until words become your friends. Them when you need to find one, they will jump into your mind, waving their hands for you to pick them. And you can select whichever you like, just like a captain choosing a stickball team.”
― Karen Witemeyer

“Some say they get lost in books, but I find myself, again and again, in the pages of a good book. Humanly speaking, there is no greater teacher, no greater therapist, no greater healer of the soul, than a well-stocked library.”
― L.R.Knost

“Every book is a children's book if the kid can read!”
― Mitch Hedberg

“I realized that every lesson, conference, response, and assignment I taught must lead students away from me and toward their autonomy as literate people.”
― Donalyn Miller, The Book Whisperer: Awakening the Inner Reader in Every Child
