Maine’s Times-Record has an article that made me swoon with pleasure: Frederick the mouse had it right. The article is based on Leo Lionni’s classic picture book, Frederick, where a mouse doesn’t work all summer long to prepare for the winter cold, but instead gathers images and stories from the summer to keep the other mice warm during the winter. The article encourages people to do the same for themselves, savor summer and capture your own memories to keep yourself warm after the summer sun leaves.
