@evilcookies98 I read one or two Frog And Toad books growing up;
But the childhood story was always #CharlottesWeb !
Per my senior high school, my fave book (the only one I truly clicked with) was #BraveNewWorld by #AldousHuxley .
That book had me in serious tears at the end, realizing the dystopia now in full effect?
In this post I attempt to pay tribute to one of my favorite writers and one of my favorite books. Writing lessons from Charlotte's Web by E.B. White.
The entire kids’ publishing industry needs this pinned above their desks.
In fact, anyone working with or writing for kids could do with reading it.
E.B. White, author of 'Charlotte's Web' on what adults get wrong when writing for children.

This is NOT the first time #SearsIsland has been targeted with a destructive energy project! Tell #GovernorJanetMills to build the #WindTerminal on #MackPoint, instead of Sears Island. There is federal funding available, so there's NO REASON to be CHEAP (Mills has balked because #Maine would have to clean up #industrial #pollution at Mack Point -- which should be cleaned up anyways!
"The possible industrial development of the island has been a point of controversy for many years. Writer #EBWhite (#CharlottesWeb), a resident of nearby Brooklin, Maine, noted in a 1975 essay for the New Yorker that he had attended an evening forum about a #CentralMainePower Company proposal to construct a #NuclearPower plant on Sears Island. White reported to New Yorker readers that the Central Maine Power Company 'feels very good about nuclear generating plants, is not worried about #radiation or accidents.' [Or rise in sea temperature from heated wastewater causing environmental damage, apparently]. In response to a goat farmer, their spokesman acknowledged #radioactive 'iodine can contaminate milk... [b]ut he was cheerful about the prospect. You would simply put the animals on a controlled diet, he said, and after about forty days the radioactivity would be gone.' [#Hormesis anyone?] Facing #LocalOpposition, the plant was not built."

I love E.B. White. Re-reading Charlotte's Web made me cry.
"I write the words that make the barnyard sing.
I write words of love, like 'Some Pig!'
I write the words in my web that catch the flies.
I write the words. I write the words."

Comes with some risks & side effects. Yet not as risky as some pharma drugs used for seizures.
Our 25 yr old autistic daughter in her 3rd year of use.
She tried #CharlottesWeb a decade ago, and noted improved reading. Now she is on 1:5 THC:CBD oil.
My previous post was about the #Gardener Katherine White.
After she died, her husband E.B. White, #Author of #CharlottesWeb, wrote a little #Verse for their close #Friends & #Family.
To all who #Loved my lovely #Wife.
To all who spoke their #Sorrow,
I send this printed card of #Thanks
So l can face #Tomorrow.
I'd hoped to write a full reply
To each, to say #ILoveYou.
But I'll #Reveal the sticky #Truth:
There's just too many of you.
#EarwormOfTheDay For a cheery (maybe too cheery) #Saturday, it's a #ShermanBrothers classic, 'Chin Up' from the 1973 CHARLOTTE'S WEB.
Humourous warning: really really will stick in your head, listen with caution - and a smile.
