Peter Heeg. Smilla and her sense of snow (№ 360685)

It is widely believed that children are open, that the truth about their inner world she climbs out. This is not so. No one is more secretive than children, and no one has a greater need to be secretive. It's kind of a reaction to a world that is constantly trying to open them using a can opener to see what they have in there and shouldn't replace that with more appropriate content.
