Bill Peet Book Quotes & Sayings

I am an author-illustrator of children's books - and yet - I must confess I don't do the books for the kids. When I'm working on a book I'm somewhere else - at the circus - or a rustic old farm - or deep in a forest - with no thought of who might read the book or what age group it would appeal to. I write them so I can illustrate them. — Bill Peet

I do recall how I got the ideas for some of my books. Many of them are a result of doodling. — Bill Peet
