More From Michael Morpurgo

My daughter is seven, and some of the other second-grade parents complain that their children don't read for pleasure. when i visit their homes, the children's rooms are crammed with expensive books, but the parent's rooms are empty. those children do not see their parents reading, as i did every day of my childhood. by contrast, when i walk into an apartment with books on the shelves, books on the bedside tables, books on the floor, and books on the toilet tank, then i know what i would see if i opened the door that says 'private--grownups keep out': a child sprawled on the bed, reading.

And when it comes to developing the high standards we need, it's time to stop working against our teachers and start working with them. teachers don't go in to education to get rich. they don't go in to education because they don't believe in their children. they want their children to succeed, but we've got to give them the tools. invest in early childhood education. invest in our teachers and our children will succeed.

Librarians lend people books from the library. the best librarians are children's book librarians.
Children Book People
Children grow rapidly, forget the centuries-long embrace from their parents, which to them lasted but seconds. children become adults, live far from their parents, live their own houses, learn ways of their own, suffer pain, grow old. children curse their parents for their wrinkled skin and hoarse voices. those now old children also want to stop time, but at another time. they want to freeze their own children at the center of time.
Pain Children Voice
Most people don't realize how important librarians are. i ran across a book recently which suggested that the peace and prosperity of a culture was solely related to how many librarians it contained. possibly a slight overstatement. but a culture that doesn't value its librarians doesn't value ideas and without ideas, well, where are we?
Book Ideas People
Reading is everything. reading makes me feel like i've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. reading makes me smarter. reading gives me something to talk about later on. reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. reading is grist. reading is bliss.

If you're at the oscars, there's not a man on that red carpet who is not wearing make-up. most straight actors i know get quite used to it. even when they go out in real life they grab some sort of bronzer and they throw it on. they dye their eyebrows, they dye their lashes - they know the tricks.
