Just like you - when mine died and theirs kept on living...well, there you go.

A wonderful feminist twist on fairy tales, especially at the end. It probably wouldn't hurt for little boys to read it either. ; ) Actually, any Robert Munsch book would probably be fabulous. Although caveat emptor for "I Love You Forever" -- it's a tearjerker that people seem to either love or hate. Sidenote of interest to DBMs: Munsch wrote it as a tribute to his two stillborn children.loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.com
