The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo
4.0

A story I must have missed out on as a kid, but such a lovely read aloud with my own children. Both of my kids were often left speechless at the actions and words of various characters throughout the story and it promoted a lot of good discussions on how to treat others, diversity/individuality, empathy, bravery and more. A cute little tale of adventure and the courage a little mouse found within himself. We wrapped up the end of the book by watching the movie as well!
