Hi Jenni...Wow - sounds like a book I need to read.<br /><br />Hi Jennifer, I'm happy to have found your blog. I'm putting your books on my to-read list, too! I'm a mama myself, Episcopalian, writer, teacher, homeschooler... anyway, I think we have some things in common. Nice to meet you - have a lovely day. :) <br /><br />Katie Katie Andrews Potterhttp://www.okayinthemess.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6210913620206544383.post-36413872997903768892018-07-09T17:55:39.262-07:002018-07-09T17:55:39.262-07:00I had never considered this truth before - thank y...I had never considered this truth before - thank you!!GretchenJoannahttp://www.gretchenjoanna.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6210913620206544383.post-18878854505160166232018-07-07T06:41:43.141-07:002018-07-07T06:41:43.141-07:00So true!

I just read Wind in the Willows for the first time last year, and I felt the exact same way about Toad! I felt the overall theme was friendship. Everyone did a lot to help out everyone else (except Toad, and at the end even he was trying to rein himself in a little for the sake of the others).
