All children have creative power.

Children are resilient and strong with powerful spirits.

Children are remarkable for their intelligence and ardor, for their curiosity, their intolerance of shams, the clarity and ruthlessness of their vision.

While children are struggling to be unique, the world around them is trying all means to make them look like everybody else.

The state of childhood resonates with life inside a fantasy novel. If you have no control over how you spend large chunks of your day, or are at the mercy of flawed giant beings, then the desire to bend the laws of the world by magic is strong and deep.

Kids delight in 'magical thinking', whether in the form of the Tooth Fairy or the saints: whether you see these as comforting lies or eternal verities, they are part of how we help kids make sense of the world.

Magic speaks to the child in all of us. No matter how sophisticated we become, there's still a part of us who wants to believe in an alternative reality, where we can defy the laws of nature.

Children enhance you.

Little children, you are from God, and have conquered them; for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in this world.

Whether they hail from different cultures, countries or faiths, children are children.
