Friendship is a common thread running through many stories for young children. As they begin to develop an awareness of others, children also notice their similarities and their differences to each other.

My hope is that when everyone looks back on these troubling times we remember how we all cared and helped each other.

Categories: ReviewsI saw the new Sherlock Holmes movie recently and really enjoyed it. The movie had a lot more action than I remembered in the novels (and way more fighting!), while still maintaining the brilliant deductive reasoning the master detective was famous for. I started thinking about the many spin offs in the book world that can trace their origins back to Mr. Holmes and Dr. Watson.
