A disciple once complained, "You tell us stories, but you never reveal their meaning to us."

Also, when I write a picture book I'm always thinking about the role the pictures will play in the telling of the story. It can take me several months to write a picture book, but it takes me several years to write a novel.
Always be just and honest so that every time you look at the mirror you don't see an abominable creature on it!
