Author Quotes:

I think wisdom demands reflection which is why I believe in books, because books are one of the last refuges of reflective thinking and therefore of wisdom. You simply cannot read a book properly without taking the time and thinking as you do. --Katherine Paterson

Questions for classroom discussion and assignments:

Jean Fritz says, “The world is your home.” Discuss what she means by this statement.
Jean Fritz suggests that students should keep a diary or journal, in which they write their reactions to the books they read. Begin a journal like this of your own. (You can also include a section on the movies you see.) Be sure to write what you really feel about these books and movies, not what others would like or might expect to read.
