Suzanne Collins Kids Quotations

Kids have so much screen time, and it's a concern. I know how overloaded I can feel sometimes.

Peeta could have come home and lived, and everyone else would have been safe, too.” “Safe to do what?” he says in a gentler tone. “Starve? Work like slaves? Send their kids to the reaping?
