“If you sit down and read with your kid, either having your child read ...” — Kate DiCamillo Quote

“If you sit down and read with your kid, either having your child read to you or you reading to your child at a regular time each day, it deepens the relationship. You don't have to talk about stuff; the story will do that work for you.”

“And hope is like love...a ridiculous, wonderful, powerful thing.”

“If you want to be a writer, write a little bit every day. Pay attention to the world around you. Stories are hiding, waiting everywhere. You just have to open your eyes and your heart.”
