Review:

A sweet and encouraging book that teaches children and adults how to find hope by using

imagination and looking at what we have around us.

A little mole and his mother venture out of their burrow after a long winter.  They see what

Spring will bring.

Great discussion guide and tips at the end of the story.

Blue Jasmine, video recording

Written and Directed by: Woody Allen

Review:

Cate Blanchett does an excellent job of playing Jasmine.  Jasmine is a woman who lives a very

rich and privileged life but loses everything when her successful financier husband is arrested

for fraud.

Jasmine moves to San Francisco to live with her sister for a fresh start.  Jasmine begins

drinking heavily and has the habit of talking to herself.  She quits her new job in

San Francisco as a dental receptionist and starts dating a wealthy man she meets at a party.

Jasmine’s fabricated stories ruin her new relationship and she is left with being alone and

having to start all over again.  This film illustrates how quickly your financial picture and

a personal relationship can change.
