Tale of despereaux by Corey Brooks https://padlet.com/485944/ifvldwpuew0za0du Awe and Adventure en-us 2020-08-17 02:52:55 UTC 2026-02-16 00:17:29 UTC hello@padlet.com Awe and Amazement 485944 https://padlet.com/485944/ifvldwpuew0za0du/wish/682165561
Beauty. Art. Music. Not things you usually associate with rodents, right? Seriously, when was the last time you saw a mouse at the movies or a concert? In a seat, that is.

There's a lot of darkness and ugliness in The Tale of Despereaux, but characters like Despereaux and Roscuro still find the time to seek out beauty in the world. Unlike their rodent families and pals, they both stop to stare in amazement at light, music, and all sorts of beautiful things. Mig, too, is speechless the first time that she sees the royal family; she carries the memory of that lovely image in her mind through all the hard times. The awe these characters feel is highly motivating; it sets them on their path to seek out a life beyond their own very limited world.
