“And she is the reader
who browses the shelf
and looks for new worlds
but finds herself.”
Laura Purdie Salas, BookSpeak!: Poems about Books

“Prickly

When I'm feeling
porcupine-y,
I get nasty,
I get whiny.

Stay away or
I might stick you.
My sharp words are
quills to prick you.”
Laura Purdie Salas, Stampede!: Poems to Celebrate the Wild Side of School

“On a day like today,
there's no friend like a book.”

“That is the purpose of museums, of course. One does not go merely to collect facts and souvenirs and picture post cards, but to enlarge one's notion of all that has been, and all that is, and all that might be. In this way we begin to understand what part each of us was born to play in the marvelous tale of existence.”
Maryrose Wood, The Unmapped Sea
