When I was in high school, everyone used to tell me that I should write and illustrate children’s books. Or mostly illustrate, because I guess there was something about my style that made people think it’d work in children’s literature. I didn’t really know anything about it, and like many people who don’t, I didn’t think it was a serious art form.
Brian Selznick Quotes
A lot of people who don't write for kids think it's easy, because they think kids aren't as smart as they are, or that you have to dumb down what you would normally write for kids. But I think you have to work harder when you write for kids, to make sure every word is right, that it's there for the right reason.
