Madeleine L’Engle: “It took two years of rejection slips from 20 or 30 publishers before I found a grown-up editor who could understand A Wrinkle in Time.” Once published, the book wins the Newbury Medal – and immediately popularity with children. Susan Ohanian, Books Day by Day

I had a teacher years ago who discussed this at length. Her theory was that aliens from other planets/galaxies would not be carbon-based lifeforms & would be something we couldn’t even imagine. I am partial to the ‘Aunt Beast’ creatures in A Wrinkle in Time (book). 🥰

Happy 104th to the author of A Wrinkle in Time. I still remember the evening Madeleine L'Engle spoke at Wheaton College. After a community member (not from the college) criticized her for putting a witch in her books, L'Engle deadpanned, "I was just looking for a happy medium."

“When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability... To be alive is to be vulnerable.” Happy birthday to Madeleine L'Engle, born on this day in 1918, author of 'A Wrinkle in Time'.

The people will love this.. A Wrinkle In Time but with Muppets. Rowlf the Dog as the lead. Former President and War Criminal George W. Bush has a one-liner that the kids will quote for days.
A wrinkle in time Take what is left of my life Before you go, show me what it's like to finally know The face behind the silhouette In this world I made to be infinite But within the expanse, I finally see A world without you isn't meant for me
