There’s a different flavor to children’s literature you read after you grow up than there was reading it as a child. Things that were sweet as a child become bitter once you grow up.

About This Quote

The quote above is based on the fact that as we grow up, our values change. We no longer see the world the way we did when we were small children. We see things in a different light and this can cause us to interpret things differently than before. This quote is very true for children’s literature.

When you read a book as a child, it may seem very innocent and harmless. But once you grow up, you begin seeing things in a different light. Maybe the story was not as innocent as you thought it was as a child, or maybe it was not as sweet as you remembered.
