• Lee a tus hijos veinte minutos al día; tú tienes tiempo y ellos también. Lee mientras la colada está en la lavadora; lee mientras se prepara la cena; coge a un niño del brazo y busca los libros de la biblioteca. Esconde el mando a distancia, deja que los juegos de ordenador se enfríen, porque un día tus hijos irán a la escuela. ¿Dotados? Deja que escuchen sus primeros cuentos con el sonido de tu voz. Lee por la mañana, lee al mediodía, lee a la luz de la luna de buenas noches. Pasad las páginas juntos, sentados tan cerca como quepáis, hasta que una vocecita a vuestro lado diga: "Eh, no lo dejes".

• 11 de septiembre Pensamos que habíamos superado a la historia Les dijimos a nuestros hijos que no estaba cerca; Incluso cuando la historia golpeó Columbine, No sucedió aquí. Quitamos los mapas de las aulas, y cuando estuvieron a buen recaudo, les dijimos a los jóvenes lo que querían oír, que eran inmunes a un mundo amenazador. Pero la historia no es un mapa plegado, Ni un libro de texto sin leer; Ahora sabemos que la historia es el hijo de un bombero Esperando solo en casa.
