Lauren Myracle Kids Quotations

Kids are smart. Knowledge is power. Let them figure things out. Don't turn into that grown-up who they won't come to.

Kids need to see their world reflected back to them.

I understand why parents worry about books - they're worried about their kids. They want to keep their kids safe. But parents aren't always realistic.

It's unfair how the kids who are starving for attention tended to be so annoying that people had no inclination to give it to them.

You know, this technology that we have, and the Internet and Twitter and Facebook - I get so many of those emails that talk about hard times that kids have gone through, how books have helped them, but also happy times.

And books are such an empowering way to give voice to some of these kids who aren't yet ready to tell their story. Or don't know what their story is, or are trying to figure it out.
