and was not disappointed, thanks.

This is one reason why I will never understand conservatives/Republicans, and why I'll never ever vote for one. I'm sure somewhere they could produce a photo of a Trump or Cruz rally of their candidate and a child similar to this, where that child feels inspired by the words said that day. But that inspiration will rest on a bed of fear, and hate, and loathing for people who are different.

This is a child that sees hope, that it is ok to feel good about yourself, your present, and your country without having to push someone else down in the process.

There will be generations of Reynolds who will treasure that book in the future.
