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

Fantastic 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

elainemckinley Absolutely one of the best! I‘m reading it to my 3rd grade class right now, so many great lessons in here—as with all of her books! 7y

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
