I can tell why you're such a good writer from that passage alone. <br /><br />And the picture book about Knut sounds like a touching story. I love books that teach children (or grown ups) about the beauty of friendship - whether it be between people or animals! Thanks for sharing. <br /><br />Hope tomorrow is wonderful for you and your family, Susanna. :-)Cally Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08313803959936813426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007703247358638748.post-41242214418360382012011-12-23T21:40:12.472-05:002011-12-23T21:40:12.472-05:00Julie - you will!

It definitely should be on our list. <br /><br />And, I love Owen and Mzee and the many other unusal stories of animals caring for each other. There is movie coming out in April, The Chimpanzee, that is about a young chimpanzee lost from his family. A gorilla becomes his mother. It is a true story, and the Jane Goodall foundation is behind this documentary.Patricia T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10673204828383998897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007703247358638748.post-78049110783121496082011-12-23T09:28:29.893-05:002011-12-23T09:28:29.893-05:00Cynthia - I know :( I left that part out because ...Cynthia - I know :( I left that part out because it's too sad!<br /><br />Erik - It's a wonderful story isn't it?
