I do not really write for children: I write only for me and for the few people I hope to please, and I write for the story.

It's a wonderful thing to write for children.

I hope children will be happy with the books I've written, and go on to be readers all of their lives.

I hope kids feel gratitude for what they do have.

I thought, if ever there were a time to write a book about hope, it's now.

Most so-called writers keep writing and writing with the hope, some day, to find something to say.

It is extremely important to me to write for children.

I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the level of success I've had. I was just writing stories for my own sons.

My story is the story of thousands of children from around the world. I hope it inspires others to stand up for their rights.
