We Need To Tell Kids

I Know What Falling Off The Cliff Means. I Know From Being Considered A Very Bright Kid To Being Considered Like A Moron And Dropping Out Of School.

I Am Very Much Interested In Getting Parents To Read To Children, And Trying To Get People Mentoring Children. If I Can Do Both I'll Be Happy.

I Read A Lot Of Comic Books And Any Kind Of Thing I Could Find. One Day, A Teacher Found Me. She Grabbed My Comic Book And Tore It Up. I Was Really Upset, But Then She Brought In A Pile Of Books From Her Own Library. That Was The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me.

Writers Do Not Write What They Know. They Write What They Can Imagine.

As A Young Man, I Saw Families Prosper Without Reading Because There Were Always Sufficient Opportunities For Willing Workers Who Could Follow Simple Instructions. This Is No Longer The Case. Children Who Don't Read Are, In The Main, Destined For Lesser Lives. I Feel A Deep Sense Of Responsibility To Change This.
