Working with a student recently, I recommended that she read Ann Patchett's essay on revisiting the work of Kate DiCamillo. And in doing so, I was inspired by Patchett to do the very same. I breezed through Edward Tulane last night in an hour, and what a glorious sixty minutes that was. To be loved and to be open to love -- life's greatest gifts.

If you haven't read this classic yet, you are missing out. And if you have but not in a long while, take it from me: it's worth the re-read!
