Creator Quotes
“I was an avid reader of Scout books for a while before I started writing Cissy. Scout has shown it can go toe-to-toe with the giants by focusing on content, taking risks, and backing their creators. Now I am humbled to be shoulder to shoulder with those great creators. I have dreamed about this opportunity. Now that it is here, I hope that Cissy can hold its own.” - Charles Chester, writer
