There’s something about a blank page that makes me tingle  (Nikki Grimes Quotes) I spent many hours ensconced in the local library, reading - nay, devouring - book after book after book. Books were my soul’s delight.  (Nikki Grimes Quotes) It seemed uncanny that words, spread across a page just so, had the power to transport me to another time or place. But they could.  (Nikki Grimes Quotes) In one sense, the stories I read betrayed me. Too few gave me back my mirror image. Fewer still spoke to, or acknowledged, the existence of the problems I faced as a black foster child from a dysfunctional and badly broken home.  (Nikki Grimes Quotes) Originally I had planned to write just a couple of children’s books and then, return the focus on adult literature. A funny thing happened along the way - I kept having new ideas, and then I looked up one day, and 30 years had passed!  (Nikki Grimes Quotes) For I am coconut / and the heart of me / is sweeter / than you know  (Nikki Grimes Quotes) I’m an artist... The difference is that I don’t tell anybody. I refuse to give them new reasons to laugh at me  (Nikki Grimes Quotes) Something about your life always makes its way into your stories. Thats just the nature of the beast  (Nikki Grimes Quotes)
