• Habrá quien sostenga que no hay imagen más encantadora que la de un niño con un perrito o un gatito en brazos. Pero para mí eso queda en un lejano segundo lugar. Cuando veo a un niño abrazando un libro... a su pequeño pecho, me conmuevo. Los niños pueden poseer un libro como nunca podrán poseer un videojuego, un programa de televisión o un muñeco de Darth Vader. Un libro cobra vida cuando lo leen. Ellos mismos le dan vida al comprenderlo.

• The Polar Express was the easiest of my picture book manuscripts to write... Once I realized the train was going to the North Pole, finding the story seemed less like a creative effort than an act of recollection.
