"I think we put our children at an enormous disadvantage by not educating them in war, by not letting them understand about it at an early age."
Suzanne Collins"One of the reasons it's important for me to write about war is I really think that the concept of war, the specifics of war, the nature of war, the ethical ambiguities of war, are introduced too late to children. I think they can hear them, understand them, know about them, at a much younger age without being scared to death by the stories."
