In today's age you really can't be too sure some weasel won't try to make some profit out of you. I mean, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery they say, but I think actually paying for the idea works out much better for the author, dontcha agree? :) Oh, Craig, btw, make sure you copyright or protect somehow stuff you write.

Preferably with some simple illustrations. Anyone with publishing company connections, feel free to make me a bazillionaire! :-P Everyone please feel free to share this with any children in your lives. I’d love to turn this into a book.

This post NEEDS to be a book! You could even do it with simple photos that match the images you painted (mountains, grass, oceans). Leaving out the boy and his mom.... or only in silhouette so that the child to whom I read can picture his or her self as the child going out into the world. Way cool. Needs to happen whether with photos or awesome illustrations. I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Would you mind if I read this to my class when I'm hired as a teacher someday? I think this would be a great end of the year send off.... Craig…. This post NEEDS to be a book! You could even do it with simple photos that match the images you painted (mountains, grass, oceans).

Somewhat in the same leit motif.Another truly lovely allegory of a book. And "One" By Richard Bach is another favorite read. Ok, I have a flaky taste in books. And apparently loghorrea. Oh, and everything is politics. I didn't comment on Monday's post but EVERYTHING is political. And Polt and DaveS,you guys didn't understand why Jerrel won on Wednesday, he did have the coolest, most avant guarde outfit. ( I was still pulling for Terri to be in my top 4, so I got that wrong) And The Crystal Skull review you linked too, I spent hours of my life reading that nitpicky, rabid account. I cuss like a sailor and I was offended. True story, my 17 year old son and I watched it together at the midnight opening day show. And walked out of the theatre arguing about it. And we had pulled an all-nighter a few days before and watched the first three movies back to back. My major nit-pick, what your reviewer never mentioned was a miniscule thing.Mine was that the Russian's drove across a border, from Mexico, and across a state(NM), never once stopping for gas or food or a potty-break. Or if they did, in 1957 US no one was concerned when a bunch of Russian's came to town? Because of that, I was never able to suspend my disbelief. I had other problems with the movie, but it never drew me in because of that. My son told me my concen is still as petty as it was when I lodged it when the movie came out. But, yea, I'm still gonna buy the movie when it comes out on DVD, sheesh it's effing Indiana Jones! Oh, and have you read ” The Alchemist”, by Cohelo?

Seriously, two of my all time favorite books are children's stories. "The Little Prince" and the bit in "The Velveteen Rabbit" where the rabbit and the skinhorse discuss the pain of becomming real. There's some kind of hopeful and yet depressing allegory in how we do not change the world, but it changes us. And the really lovely bit was how we change it in ways that even we cannot see or know. This could be a book, a classic children's story. Expand this concept. I want to buy that book and I want it autographed! This speaks to my soul. Craig, that was a beautiful tale.

I'm honored you'd compare it to The Giving Tree. That is one of my absolute favorite books and definitely an inspiration. Thanks again everyone! :-)
