Zitat des Tages von Natalie Babbitt:
I have a wonderful husband, and we have had a great life.
My husband wrote the story for my first book, but then he didn't want to do that anymore. So if I was going to go on being an illustrator, I had to start writing the stories, too.
I never wanted to be a writer. I wanted to be a book illustrator. I used to hurry home from school and draw.
Right after graduation, I married Samuel Fisher Babbitt, an academic administrator. I spent the next ten years in Connecticut, Tennessee, and Washington, D.C., raising our children, Christopher, Tom, and Lucy.
