I only have one subject. The question I am obsessed with is: How do children survive?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Kids search for what's relevant, what connects with their life... now. They know bad things happen like Hurricane Katrina. Through character driven stories, they explore what it's like to survive, thrive, and become more themselves.
As every parent knows, children begin life as uninhibited, unabashed explorers of the unknown. From the time we can walk and talk, we want to know what things are and how they work - we begin life as little scientists.
What interests me is what children go through while growing up.
Kids need stuff which is different than what their life is that they can kind of live through.
I'm obsessed with my children.
I've always been concerned about kids - not just my own three, but all kids - what kind of an image I'm providing for them, what kind of inspiration. I don't know now. Maybe I'm leading them down the path to self-destruction.
Children are so creative and imaginative that they just bring you to life all over again.
Childhood has its secrets and its mysteries; but who can tell or who can explain them!
You do not chop off a section of your imaginative substance and make a book specifically for children, for - if you are honest - you have no idea where childhood ends and maturity begins. It is all endless and all one.
Children learn what they live.
