Do parents sit down and tell their kids everything? I don't know. I don't know. I've convinced myself - I hope I'm right - that children despair of you if you don't tell them the truth. ↗

I write books that seem more suitable for children, and that's OK with me. They are a better audience and tougher critics. Kids tell you what they think, not what they think they should think. ↗

Parents shouldn't assume children are made out of sugar candy and will break and collapse instantly. Kids don't. We do. ↗
