I think of writing--particularly of writing picture books--as a kind of choreography. A picture book must have pace and movement and pattern. Pictures and text should, together, create the pattern, rather than simply run parallel Picture Quote #1

I told you I'll be ready in FIVE minutes, stop calling me every half hour - Funny Quotes

When we first met, i had no idea you would be so important to me - Love Quotes

Force me to choose my best book, and I always come back to ‘Gorilla.’ It was the first time I felt I understood what picture books could do Picture Quote #1

When was the last time you read a book? The truth now. And picture books don’t count-I mean something with print in it Picture Quote #1

I’m usually working either on a picture book and a young adult book, or a middle grade book and a young adult book. When I get bored with one, I move to the other, and then I go back Picture Quote #1

A good picture book can almost be whistled. ... All have their own melodies behind the storytelling Picture Quote #1

For children: I’m writing a picture book about the Big Dipper and a novel about a cricket, a firefly and a vole. For grownups: I’m writing poems Picture Quote #1

Having you in my life made everything better - Love Quotes

I love picture books. I think some of the best people in children’s books are the ones who create their own picture books. I wish I could say I’m one of them, but I’m not Picture Quote #1

It struck me that when we read picture books to children, we parents, and people as a whole, do not appear in them very much, and that they are more constructed to be a world of children and animals Picture Quote #1

Painting is the only universal language. All nature is creation’s picture book. Painting alone can describe every thing which can be seen, and suggest every emotion which can be felt. Art reaches back into the babyhood of time, and is man’s only lasting monument Picture Quote #1

I think the trick of writing a good picture book manuscript is to leave that space for illustration. An illustrated novel can do the same thing Picture Quote #1

I read The Stinky Cheese Man as an adult. I missed that book when I was a kid. I grew up mostly with books bought at yard sales, picture books from the fifties to 1975, which is really a lucky thing Picture Quote #1

Even tiny children looking at a picture book are using their imaginations, gleaning clues from the images to understand what is happening, and perhaps using the throwaway details which the illustrator includes to add their own elements to the story Picture Quote #1
