“Sometimes, when you listen to a story, you get a new idea
of what’s possible in the world. I don’t
mean just strange customs and faraway places – though you can learn a lot from
those. What I mean is that you can get a
new idea of what’s possible for you
–something you never thought of, or you never saw very much in real life.
When I’m scared, I
like to think about the brave people in stories I know. And I think, Maybe I could be like that.”
--Susan Fletcher
