“I remember kids used to give me a penny for drawing them a horse. I loved horses, but I couldn't have one, so I would draw a horse for myself. I would make it food and a blanket for it to wear and a place to live.” GivingKidsRememberUsedDrawsHorseGive MeDrawingPenniesBlanketPlaces To Live Author:Jan Brett
“I just love to draw. It's very intense for me. The day will just go by like the snap of a finger. A lot of times I'll draw or paint late into the night. When I am really concentrating, I kind of lose track of what I am doing.” KindNightLosesLateDrawsFingersPaintTrackIntenseSnapsConcentrating Author:Jan Brett
“I create books for six-year-olds. I don't know why that time of my life was so important to me, but no matter what I draw, it always looks like it comes from a children's book. I can't resist. I'll set out to paint a serious picture then think, "Well, maybe there would be a little bunny in that corner."” ThinkingKnowsYearsWellsLooksChildrenLittlesI CanImportantBookMatterWould BeSeriousSixDrawsNo Matter WhatPaintCornersChildren's BooksBunniesSix Year OldsTime Of My Life Author:Jan Brett
