We writers, and especially writers for children, but all writers, have an obligation to our readers: it's the obligation to write true things, especially important when we are creating tales of people who do not exist in places that never were, to understand that truth is not in what happens but what it tells us about who we are. Fiction is the lie that tells the truth, after all.

I know a man, and I just want to talk about him a minute, and maybe you will discover who I'm talking about as I go down the way because he was a great one. And he just went about serving. He was born in an obscure village, the child of a poor peasant woman. And then he grew up in still another obscure village, where he worked as a carpenter until he was thirty years old. Then for three years, he just got on his feet, and he was an itinerant preacher. And he went about doing some things. He didn't have much. He never wrote a book. He never held an office. He never had a family. He never owned a house. He never went to college. He never visited a big city. He never went two hundred miles from where he was born. He did none of the usual things that the world would associate with greatness. He had no credentials but himself.
