Words written in a particular order, composed in just the right way can stir emotions and evoke vivid images. So many stories have brought me the pleasure of visiting someplace new, casting me into another world. Words can travel.
I love the way that each book – any book – is its own journey. You open it, and off you go…”
Sharon Creech
