I've heard so many people say that they write the books they would have loved to have read as a child, but couldn't find. I take comfort in knowing that a lot more stories are out there for kids to read now. I also like the idea that being certain in what you write is the same as being certain in what you read. And also knowing that both of those can surprise you:) Suzanne, that is totally true.

Also interesting was knowing why they loved to read. Meg said she read as a child to escape some heaviness at home. And Kate, as a sickly child, also read to escape. So knowing why you write what you write has a strong connection to why you read what you read as a kid. Pretty cool stuff. ; ) Great post and a great day at the Festival of Books!
