First book to make him cry!

I am writing this because its the first time he cried after reading any book.

Dev read the book "Old Yeller" today. I have yet to read it so I don't know much about it except that its about the relation between a boy and his dog. I noticed that keeping the book away after finishing it, It seemed like he was hiding his tears. When I got closer , he just hid his head in my chest and sobbed and sobbed and sobbed . Rubbing his back, I tried consoling him "Its okay to feel sad dudu..." I had yet to complete my sentence when Jaanu interrupts in her signature way " Its okay to be sad Chetta , but NOT okay to be mad " .  Dev couldn't help smiling and for that minute forgot about the sadness in the book that he just read . I am so thankful to the cheer that Jaanu brings in everytime.

I hope my kids get to read many more books which touch them , inspire then and help them grow in ways only books can.
