I took Leo to see The Lorax a few weeks ago and it was, by far, one of the best movies I've seen. Leo and I had read the book prior to seeing the movie, and during our first read he asked, "Mommy, why are you crying?" Oh, Dr. Seuss! That whole "Unless" portion just got me.
"UNLESS someone like you
cares a whole awful lot,
nothing is going to get better.
It's not."
-Dr. Seuss
I don't want to spoil the message for anyone who has not seen the movie or read the story, but I will say that sometimes it takes a children's book to open an adult's eyes to the problems of the world. Today is Arbor Day. I plan on planting a tree with my boys and running around outside. Who knows, maybe we'll see Mr. Lorax! :-)
