Charlotte's Web
It's probably cliche, but I love this book! I didn't read books very much when I was a child but this book always stands out in my mind. I always remember Charlotte trying to save Wilbur's life. It was so sad and happy at the same time. I love when all the other farm animals are helping Charlotte come up with her sayings for her web each week. They all get involved with the process and want to help Wilbur to live. It reminds me that it takes all of us to help children to live to their potential; parents, teachers, churches, extended family members, and even friends of the families. These days it takes anyone willing to put the time and energy into helping and loving these kids for them to grow to their potential. Most parents have to work and sometimes even a lot of hours or odd hours. Children usually are willing to be loved by anyone that shows it to them because they are so starved for attention!

I love Charlotte's Web also! It is such a good book. I also agree with you in that "it take a village to raise a child." No matter what ever child deserves love and attention. We should all work together to provide the best opportunities for children to flourish.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte Web is one of my favorite books and the I love the movie also. As teachers we make a difference in a child's life thats' why we have to provide a positive, loving, and learning environment.
DeleteCharlotte's Web was also a favorite of mine growing up and it still is today. Such a memorable story for me about friendship sensitivity, warmth,humor,intelligence, and salvation. What a good moral of a story for young children.
