1. The Cutest Thing in the World?

 

In the world?  Can it be that cute?  Surely this is hyperbole.  Surely nothing can be definitively and objectively classified as the cutest thing in the world, right?

 

Take a look at the adorable Capucine’s improvised story, and if you don’t agree that she is at least in your Top 5 Cutest Things in the World (right next to kittens so tired that they fall asleep standing up), you and I have a problem… 

 

Her story has everything, Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, lost baby monkeys, a lion, a hippopotamus, a mammoth with claws, and an orange ring that can kill all the witches so that all the people will be peaceful.  It’s a trip!

 

Once upon a time… from Capucha on Vimeo.

 

This is a great example of why storytelling should never be a static uni-directional process.   Stories should be free to evolve and take on new shapes based on the teller’s perspective.  Like Capucine, you and your child can create your own “book” together with just a video camera and they’ll (dare I say it) love it even more than our amazing personalized kids books.

2. From tiny acorns…

Franki at A Year of Reading has gathered together some fantastic projects by children “to make the world a better place”, including her own daughter and her friends. These are all inspirational stories - do follow up on all her links! I do just have to mention this one though:

How about Capucine who I learned about from Stella at My World-Mi Mundo. Capucine, a four year old, is helping to make sure that her friends in Mongolia have books. She would like to open a library for them. Capucine already understands the power of her words, the Internet, and making a difference.
