The important things that children’s books say: QUOTES FOR WRITERS (and people who like quotes)

girl readingChildren’s books say: the stories of the world are infinite, and various, and unpredictable. They say: you will count for something. They say: bravery will matter, wit will matter, empathy will matter, love will matter.

      And it’s why it is so important to allow children to discover the magic of reading – they already know the power of stories from television and film, but words on a page can go into new places and take new directions

If you want to use any of this material contact me and there is a very good chance I will say YES.
However, if you just cut and paste into your own blog or whatever and pass it off as your own then there's a very good chance I will find out. Don't fall into the trap of thinking the internet is so vast and expanding so fast (note the fancy internal rhyme)] that no one will know.
