Steven D. Levitt Quote
Isaac Bashevis Singer, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature, wrote across many genres, including children’s books. In an essay called Why I Write for Children, he explained the appeal. Children read books, not reviews, he wrote. They don’t give a hoot about the critics. And: When a book is boring, they yawn openly, without any shame or fear of authority. Best of all—and to the relief of authors everywhere—children don’t expect their beloved writer to redeem humanity.
