Last Monday my brother, his wife-to-be, and I took our niece to the movies. They played this extraordinary preview. I am so excited to see this movie! (Arcade Fire in the background just added to the wonder!) Although it’s so far away, it seems somehow appropriate that it would come out in the fall! My dad used to read this book to us when my little brother and I were young and it was one of my very favorites.
When I was little I used to promise myself that I would never be one of those grown-ups that sighed and declared they wished they could be a child again because it was so carefree. I used to feel offended by this because I felt that just because I was a kid my problems were still big and important to me. I do not wish to betray my past self, but I do feel a deep sense of longing for childhood when I watch this preview…
