Beauties Redemptive Grace. The Glorious Ache of Paradox in Life, Death, Love and Seasons of Friendship.
"Anyone who writes down to children is simply wasting his time. You have to write up, not down. Children are demanding. They are the most attentive, curious, eager, observant, sensitive, quick, and generally congenial readers on earth. They accept, almost without question, anything you present them with, as long as it is presented honestly, fearlessly, and clearly. I handed them, against the advice of experts, a mouse-boy, and they accepted it without a quiver. In Charlotte’s Web, I gave them a literate spider, and they took that. ~ E.B. White
"As a piece of work it is just about perfect,
and just about magical in the way it is done."
New York Times 1952.
"Where's Papa going with that Axe?"
Yet even in the face of death, life continues and ultimate goodness wins out.
We learn that death can be delayed, but it cannot be avoided forever.
We learn of kindness and to accept uncertainty.
