For me, literacy means freedom. For the individual and for society.

We want a book to be a book. We'll have all the interactive bells and whistles but our intent is to engage young people in reading, not to show them a movie.

The unvarnished truth is that we have spent the last decade funding the machinery of war, and our children have been sacrificed.

As long as we are engaged in storytelling that moves the culture forward, it doesn't matter what format it is.
