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.

  • -- Brian Selznick 布赖恩·塞尔兹尼克

很多不为孩子们写作的人认为这很简单,因为他们认为孩子们没有他们那么聪明,或者你必须简化你通常为孩子们写的东西。但我认为,当你为孩子们写作时,你必须更加努力,确保每一个字都是正确的,都是为了正确的理由而写的。
