Martha V. Parravano Quotes
Consider A Small Child Sitting On His Mother's Lap While She Reads Him A Picture Book. The Picture Book Opens To A Width That Effectively Places The Child At The Center Of A Closed Circle - That Of Mother's Body, Arms, And The Picture Book ... That Circle, So Private And Intimate, Is A Place Apart Form The Demands And Stresses Of Daily Life, A Sanctuary In And From Which The Child Can Explore The Many Worlds Offered In Picture Books. Despite All Of Our Society's Technological Advances, It Still Just Takes One Child, One Book, And One Reader, To Create This Unique Space, To Work This Everyday Magic.
