“I don't believe in the kind of magic in my books. But I do believe something very magical can happen when you read a good book.”

“I do believe something very magical can happen when you read a good book.”

“I have always believed in the magic of childhood and think that if you get your life right that magic should never end. I feel that if adults cannot enjoy a children’s book properly there is something wrong with either the book or the adult reading it. This of course, is just a smart way of saying I don't want to grow up.”

“Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.”

“We believe in books. Somehow we want to make childhood better, and we believe that a book given at the right moment can work magic in a child's life.”

“I read my books at night, like that, under the quilt with the overheated reading lamp. Reading all those good lines while suffocating. It was magic.”
