A quick quote before I run off to class.
"Stories are light. Light is precious in a world so dark. Tell...a story. Make some light."
~Kate DiCamillo, The Tale of Despereaux

Current quote
What we can do, we must do: we must use what we are given, and we must use it the best we can, however much or little help we have for the task.

Isn't that an awesome book?
Such a cute book! I love it, with a few words excepted. ;-)
Mimi, yes it is! It's one of the few that can get away with such explicit light/dark symbolism. It's a really great story.
VB, well, I read it because you recommended it to me, so I hope you like it! :D
I *loved* this book! I read it last summer for a children's lit class. I just finished reading Edward Toulane. I'm finding DiCamillo to be an excellent author. Both those books had me on the edge of tears.
Maureen, I just finished listening to this and enjoyed myself very much. It was a pleasant diversion.
