"Stories are light. Light is precious in a world so dark. Begin at the beginning. Tell Gregory a story. Make some light."

pickFantastic writing, per usual. Newberry medaled for a reason. My take-away from second reading through?
That there is always hope. In the most desperate of times, hope prevails. And wins. #katedicamillo #thetaleofdespereaux
This book is killing me. Second time reading and I'm crying all over the place. Those words = total truth. #wordporn #thetaleofdespereaux #katedicamillo
He's a mouse. But these words. His true emotion - human emotion - the way anyone who loves another with an affection they've never known before feels, they want to give "honor." Despereaux speaks honesty, love--unconditional love, regardless of trial or tragedy or insurmountable odds. That is honor. And I'm like ?? #iwantthathonor #thetaleofdespereaux #katedicamillo
Reading for a few minutes between cooking ...and there may be a Filson catalog to my left to read, too. This book is so great. Second time reading. Trying to really catch what I missed this time. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃#thetaleofdespereaux
