Going out and not only meeting the kids, but meeting the teachers and the librarians and seeing the world, fills me up.

[He] had the soul of a poet, and because of this, he liked very much to consider questions that had no answers.
Kate DiCamillo
Perhaps, said the man, you would like to be lost with us. I have found it much more agreeable to be lost in the company of others.
Kate DiCamillo
There are so many difficult things and stories can make them palatable. That's the way I have always felt.
Kate DiCamillo
The sound of the king's music made Despereaux's soul grow large and light inside of him.
Kate DiCamillo
The Tale of Despereaux is the story of an unlikely hero, a mouse, who falls in love with a princess and then must save her. It's a triumph of the human spirit, via a mouse.
