Our Word of the Week

that I picked from the fish bowl on my desk

is...

integrity
1. the quality of being honest and fair

I think the following fictional characters have a tremendous amount of integrity: Ferdinand the Bull, Hermione (from the Harry Potter books) and Charlotte (from Charlotte's Web).

Can you think of anyone who has lots of integrity?

runaway 

stargirl

where the mountain meets the moon

if you come softly

a walk in the woods

to the lighthouse

the big house

island of the blue dolphins

the courage to write

a million little pieces

tender at the bone

broken for you

Do you know who shares this Colorscope with Helen Keller?

Hint:  He's an actor, a stand-up comedian, a genius at voice mimicry and he won an oscar for playing a sensitive therapist with a good Boston accent.
