Interestingly, A. A. Milne didn’t write the Winnie-the-Pooh stories and poems for children but instead intended them for the child within all of us which as I’ve written before must continue to be nurtured and kept alive. They were written by a British author almost a hundred years ago, and yet the characters remain endearing and teach profoundly important life lessons. I read these stories over and over again to my daughter until she was long past the age most children want to read children’s books, and I did the same with my grandchildren. But ya know, it could well be said that I read them as much for my pleasure as theirs.
