“If nature has made you for a giver, your hands are born open, and so is your heart; and though there may be times when your hands are empty, your heart is always full, and you can give things out of that—warm things, kind things, sweet things—help and comfort and laughter—and sometimes gay, kind laughter is the best help of all.”

I'm so glad I decided to give this book a try. I remember loving the 1995 film as a child and I can safely say the book is just as good.
The story of little Sarah Crewe warmed my heart once more. The plot is a very simple one and quite possibly something that you have read before.
When reading it you have to remember the times when this book was written and that this is a story of a child. It includes many cruel and real parts but it also includes fantasy worth of a fairy-tail book.
I think this is a fantastic small read for both children and adults to enjoy.

The racism is the biggest ugh of it for me, followed by the classism.
 

I like Sara as a character, she is genuin kind, but also a little weird in the way of a child that grew up without peers of equal footing, and I like how it shows that kindness is something you have to chose and that sometimes its hard. I do not like the way everyone else is made to be lesser so she can shine, I cried for the other girls, and Saras story is sad, but it has this, this is wrong cause it happens to her a rich person, the happy end literally has Becky becoming her servent instead.
