Quote of the moment:
Without being explicitly stated, the quote implies that when you pee long into an abyss, the abyss also pees into you.
Children's books should tackle more complicated subjects. They shouldn't just be empty collections of platitudes and lessons in being yourself. News flash: being yourself gets you nowhere!
So, naturally, when I write my own children's books, they scratch below the surface, but are still a jolly, fun-to-read adventure for the wee 'uns.
