Yay. Glad you enjoyed it! I think it’s fascinating how much realness ends up in the books of authors. I’m amazed at how they can weave it all together!

It really is! So special and beautiful I could stare at it all day. He pricey tho.’ It’s out of print but there are a couple on amazon and AbeBooks. We recently bought a new one, added a memorial bookplate inside with our boy’s name and photo, and donated it to our local library in his honor. I included link in case you want to buy one hehe 🙃😁

I figured your eyes would do the cartoon "bug eyes" when you saw the price tag. hehe It would have been very hard to buy one if it wasn't for a super special occasion as his favorite of all time. Thank you. It's part of his legacy. We want to also buy copies to mimic some of his other classic books to donate to the library (Paolini, Dickens, Hemingway, etc) but hopefully, they won't be so pricey!! :)

Yes… the King… Jesus. The best. The Felicity movie ❤️❤️❤️ I’m about to cry just thinking about it… about Penny and “Grandfather.” 😭 Winnie was my childhood buddy. I had the toddler books, stuffed Winnie I carried around, the toys. So cute. So calm. I adore how he has stood the test of time. I know. 😭😭 when I read that about her losing her boy too and the author made that connection with The Secret Garden it soothed me so!

Oh yes, girl. Love them. Let's see... Samantha and Kit for sure. Watched Felicity, Samantha, and Kit many many times. There was a modern girl too but can't remember her name -- the memory of that one is hazy because I only watched it once... it had to do with bullying or something... her brother was on the swim team, or she was.... which one was that? Do you know?
