I can imagine that if they were still alive and could go now, they would see an immense difference.<br /><br />"What you permit, you promote." What an excellent concept to remember. Thank you not only for introducing this book, but also for your wise words about it and about global warming.Beth Stilbornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10599767764125204077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647389869700092299.post-40947220351302100692013-11-15T11:39:08.878-06:002013-11-15T11:39:08.878-06:00How clever to connect the story with the real Chur...How clever to connect the story with the real Churchill.

He smiles travels around the world. <br /><br />I really like your choice today about global warming. I like the theme for Winston, change begins with each one of us. Wished I had found this book because it's such an important topic and kids are worried about the future. Many good books about what kids are doing around the world to help. Will definitely check this one out. Always look forward to your suggestions and activities.Patricia T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10673204828383998897noreply@blogger.com
