Quote #10
Poppy caught the excitement. She shouted gleefully, waving her fists like little clubs, and stomped around, glad to be on her feet again. She found a pebble and plunked it into the water, crowing happily at the splash it made. (18.34)
We admit, we're enchanted with Poppy's innocence and youthfulness. She's just so carefree and adorable. Granted, this sometimes leads to her chewing up important documents, but in passages like this, we get to see her just being a kid, one who's never splashed around in a river before. This cements our thinking that kids are meant to be out in nature, playing and frolicking.
