From "a little world at the end of my pencil:" The Visual and Verbal Art of Arnold Lobel by Michael Patrick Hearn, Guest Curator.
"'To be making books for children allows me the freedom and pleasures of being an adult, and at the same time I can always partake in a kind of childlike wonder,' [Lobel] explained. 'To be making books for children is to be in a sort of state of grace.'"
