Who said what
Gordon Flett👍 Recommends
…recommending classic children's literature as example of mattering narrative
“I say to parents, read Anne of Green Gables with your kids, because Anne comes as an orphan, gets adopted by the people who finally see her and care about her. And then she forgoes her teaching career, because Marilla needs her, spoiler alert, after Matthew dies. And I realized at one point, that's why that story resonates with people so much. The sense of being lost, being taken in by people who care, and then sticking around to make a difference in their lives.”
