The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame

In the fast paced world we live in, re-reading this classic story to my 5yo son reminded me the importance of slowing down and appreciating  the simple things in life. Frog, Rat, Mole and Badger are just a few characters that warm your heart. The love and friendship they share fills our hearts with joy. The innocence of this book is so needed today. Children are bombarded by so much media that reading and imagining a world of simplicity brings us all back to what is really important in life, time spent cuddling and giggling without a care in the world.
