My Work In Books, Films And Talks Lies Almost Wholly With Children, And I Have Very Little Time To Give To Grown-ups.
I Get Over A Hundred Letters A Day From All Over The World, From Children And Parents, And It's A Wonder I Ever Have Time To Write Books, Let Alone Speak!
I Have Written, Probably, More Books For Children Than Any Other Writer, From Story-books To Plays, And Can Claim To Know More About Interesting Children Than Most.
I Am Not Really Much Interested In Talking To Adults, Although I Suppose Practically Every Mother In The Kingdom Knows My Name And My Books. It's Their Children I Love.
It Was The Biggest Suppression Of Voting Rights In Our Country's History Since Jim Crow. And The Thread Of Race Runs From The Beginning To The End Of My Book.
