Margaret Atwood's Children's Books
"Comfort with reading begins in childhood, when parents or other loving adults read to children. It creates a “safe” place where — nevertheless — dangers can be explored (and, in children's books, hopefully, overcome).... I think my children's books function as protected spaces for me. I look at darker things quite a lot, but the kind of children's books I write are light, and have happy endings.... That's a relief, when I can manage it."  —Margaret Atwood.
