I love having something for the adult who is reading to the child. But I try to keep in mind at all times that the book is for the child. I don’t want any of that extra layer to interfere with the main objective, which is to make an entertaining book for a kid.

Kevin Henkes

A children’s book author who isn’t ashamed to write for children. How novel.
