“Telling stories with visuals is an ancient art. We've been drawing pic...” — Deborah Wiles Quote

Telling stories with visuals is an ancient art. We've been drawing pictures on cave walls for centuries. It's like what they say about the perfect picture book. The art and the text stand alone, but together, they create something even better. Kids who need to can grab onto those graphic elements and find their way into the story.

I want young readers to know that to tell their own story is the most important thing they'll ever do.

There's always something good to come out of disappointment: Comfort.

A story shared back and forth is just about the most perfect symbiotic gift. It's a bit like love. No, it's a lot like love.

For when a woman is left too much alone, sooner or later she begins to think;- And no man knows what then she may discover.

I would say, 'I'm alone, but I'm not lonely.' But I was just kidding myself.

Success doesn't find you when you're alone in your house.

I think it's what art should do: make you feel less alone - either in the quest for truth or in dealing with any pain you have.

Let me alone: I have yet my legs and one arm. Tell the surgeon to make haste and his instruments. I know I must lose my right arm, so the sooner it's off the better.
