“Imagine the endless delight, watching two little gorillas explore their world!
The fun!
The thrill!
The parental joy!
Imagine the terror of twin tantrums!
The chaos!
The noise!
The parental exhaustion!”
― The One and Only Family

“Stories help us ready ourselves. For joy, for sorrow, for growth. They teach us empathy. They let us practice being better humans.
Sadly battles over children's access to books have increasingly put librarians and teachers on the front lines. But in the end, locking up books always fails because words have wings. Stories, as Ivan comes to realize, have a way of taking flight one way or another....as long as we have free libraries and dedicated teachers, loving parents, and curious children, I know we'll be okay.”

“There are three kids of people.
Some are hope-planters.
Some are hope-squashers.
Some are hope-restorers.”
― And Then, Boom!
