My daughter asked me to read Charlotte’s Web to her after she saw the movie at school. She like the gentle story of helping others, dealing death and friendship. Since I had not read since I was a child I found something in it for me to. Fern’s story is an often-ignored side story; of a girl who talks to animals growing up, noticing boys and forgetting the friends she once spent all day watching through a fence.
In this world of fast paced action stories I like to read the slow sad stories like every once in a while. They are very much human stories that reach in the heart and remind us to play for a bit.
