Heard an interesting story on my local NPR station about an old children’s book being republished. The interesting thing about the book is<\/p>\n
“It really said, in a way that children could understand, the things that adults want to say to their kids, but so often cannot for whatever reason. Certainly the emotional side is easier. It’s easier to talk to a 5-year-old when you’re writing [your] words down than if you have to actually do it with him. And then issues that haven’t changed a bit in 70 years like who’s in charge of things around here, who’s making the decisions, whether it’s right to kill and eat chickens or not. There’s a lot of food for thought in the plot as well.”<\/p>\n
