Oh, I just love Where the Red Fern Grows! Every year I would read it aloud to my class, and every year I would get weepy. I would tell my kids that it takes a wonderful author to be able to get inside you and make you care that much about the characters that you can cry for them. It was always a special moment of trust between us. We need more books and movies with positive role models for kids and us!
