"Literature,

specifically Children's literature,

has not only artistic merit,

but also makes clear

our crises of existence--

our drive for affection

and acceptance,

the dangers and rewards

of curiosity,

the imminence of death,

our responses to injustice,

generational conflicts,

the loss of innocence,

the saving powers

of hope and humor--

all the concerns that

beckon maturing beings

deeper into life.

I'll remain forever

a child at heart

so long as I've got books."
