“All I liked to do when I was a kid was draw. My childhood was like my adult life: drawing pictures with my brother, putting the comics up on the glass window, and tracing the characters onto tracing paper or drawing paper and then coloring them. That and making things was all we ever did.” CharacterKidsChildhoodBrotherPaperDrawsAdultsWindowGlassesDrawingMy BrotherTracingDrawing Pictures Author:Maurice Sendak
“Boys are found everywhere - on top of, underneath, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around or jumping to. Mothers love them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers tolerate them, adults ignore them and Heaven protects them. A boy is Truth with dirt on its face, Beauty with a cut on its finger, Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair and the Hope of the future with a frog in its pocket.” LittlesRunningFacesMotherHateGirlFoundHeavenBoysCuttingBrotherHairBabyProtectAdultsFingersPocketsClimbingBubblesTolerateDirtBrothers And SistersJumpingFrogsGumMother LoveBaby BoyOlder SisterBubble Gum Author:Alan Beck
“God gave me the gift of faith. I don't mean that in any miraculous sense, I mean through the parents who educated me, through the brothers and sisters I grew up with, the schools I went to, there was this influence upon me which was the faith, in the concrete. I accepted it, I questioned it, I grew up with it, and in the end, as a mature adult, I continue to accept it.” MeanEndsSchoolParentAcceptingInfluenceBrotherGrewGrew UpAdultsAcceptedEducatedMatureConcreteBrothers And SistersMiraculous Author:George Coyne
“You don't need Little League. You don't even need nine kids. Four is plenty-a pitcher, a batter, and a couple of shaggers. You can play ball all day long. My kids used to try to get me out there, but I'd just say, "Go play with your brothers." If kids want to do something, they'll do it. They don't need adults to do it for them.” IfsWantNeedsTryingLittlesLongPlayKidsUsedFourBrotherCoupleAdultsBallsNinePlentyLeaguePitcherYour BrotherLittle League Author:Yogi Berra
“As a kid, my brother and I would read the same novel, we'd memorize entire pages, reenact the book as it's characters, and would immerse in playing like that for hours.

“"Little Brother" sounds an optimistic warning. It extrapolates from current events to remind us of the ever-growing threats to liberty. But it also notes that liberty ultimately resides in our individual attitudes and actions. In our increasingly authoritarian world, I especially hope that teenagers and young adults will read it - and then persuade their peers, parents and teachers to follow suit.” WorldLittlesActionYoungIndividualParentSoundAttitudeLibertyTeacherGrowingEventsBrotherAdultsThreatNotesYoung AdultCurrentsOptimisticSuitsTeenagerWarningPeersLittle BrotherCurrent EventsParents And TeachersThreats To Liberty Author:Dan Gillmor
“I don't think my dad really knew what to do with me, as a daughter. He treated me like a boy; my brother and I were treated the same. He didn't do kid stuff. There were no kid's menus; you weren't allowed to order off the kid's menu at dinner - we had to try something from the adult menu.” ThinkingTryingKidsOrderStuffBoysBrotherDadDaughterAdultsMy DadDinnerTreatedMy BrotherMenusLike A Boy Author:Emma Watson
