A commenter on one of Mo Willems’s blog entries offers a quote that describes perfectly why I love children’s literature:
“I believe that a good children’s book should appeal to all people who have not completely lost their original joy and wonder in life. The fact is that I don’t make books for children at all. I make them for that part of us, of myself and of my friends, which has never changed, which is still a child.”
