Then in my mind, I would go to that place.  (Jan Brett Quotes) Children have such vibrant minds. They need to play. They need to be creative. They need to imagine. It’s so important for their sense of self discovery. And it helps them learn problem-solving.  (Jan Brett Quotes) One of my favorite books is ‘Armadillo Rodeo’, and I got the idea from traveling to Texas and seeing armadillos.  (Jan Brett Quotes) Writing a story is like going down a path in the woods. You follow the path. You don’t worry about getting lost. You just go.  (Jan Brett Quotes) I remember the special quiet of rainy days when I felt that I could enter the pages of my beautiful picture books.
