"Once there was a tree...and she loved a little boy."
The most heartwarming, loving story ever written. I grew up having this book read to me, then I read it over and over to myself, and now I read it to all the littles in my life. Life just makes more sense with this book in it. It's a love story to nature, a lesson on kindness and selfishness, and just an overall amazing story. Love.

Jesper
It wouldn't normally be my cup of tea but I liked it alot it's heartwarming tale about the origins of santa Claus told thru the eyes of the town postman jesper. Jesper who stats as a bitbof a egostst self absorbed prince who only cares about number one but takes the kindness of the town's children and Klaus for him to see the error of his ways. Anyway totally recommend this movie to anyone

Beware the kindness of strangers
I watched this today as there was little else on at present I haven't seen already. It's another stalker obsessive tale that's been done better plenty of times. Just above average thanks to the 2 quality leads. There are a few plot wise things that make you think, why not do this? Never really scary, or creepy and definitely a bit bonkers. Still fairly enjoyable despite its short comings.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2200 KP) rated If You Give a Mouse a Cookie in Books

A creative progression story that starts with a simple act of kindness, giving a mouse a cookie. From there, however, things progress until they loop back around.
The book is simple but filled with great illustrations. And the journey is so creative. I missed this book until I read it with my niece and found it absolutely charming.

I loved the manga and the original anime when it came out. The characters and story are great. Tohru herself is very sweet and you can't help but be drawn to her and her kindness. The remake of Fruits Basket is excellent. They did a fantastic job keeping the spirit of the original story and the emotional vibe of the main story and interactions with the characters. It was great to watch through it again and remember what made this series so special.

Epically good
Doc, a young boy, has grown up working like a slave in a mine with daily beatings and feeling like his life will never be different.
That all changes on his twelfth birthday, starting with one act of kindness.
Doc's character develops well, his confidence grows and he shows how amazing he is.
It's so good traveling alongside him, so as sad as I was for his journey to come to and end, I'm thrilled that there is more to come.
