Little Mole Finds Hope
Picture book by Glenys Nellist.
This was a sweet way to explain the concept of hope from the viewpoint of nature and the transition from winter to spring, or death to new life.
Young Woman and the Sea
This movie depicts the true story of Trudy Ederle, the first woman to swim the English Channel and beat the men’s record in the process. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and marvelled at Trudy’s dedication despite those men who were determined to stop her. The movie is funny and heartwarming, but also eye-opening in terms of the way women and sports were viewed in the early 1900’s. Note: it briefly shows the bare buttocks of a man who swims nude or in a thong.
