Touchstone moments

All of the below:
When Mary's Secret Garden ceases to be a secret and heals not only her, but her cousin and uncle too. When the Little Women were each paired off to live happily ever after.

When the birds in The Best Nest figure out that home is their simple nest they tried to leave behind. When the Seuss characters Hop on Pop. When the Berenstain Bears were Bears in the Night. When the Boxcar Children always made something out of nothing, together as a family. When the Animorphs realized that they could fight an invasion as a group of young, scared kids.

When Willow the titular character of the 1988 film says "It was just my old disappearing pig trick," showing that the small people, the little ones, can change the world. When Luke declares that he's a Jedi like his father. When the Beast turns back into a prince for Belle.

I have soooo many touchstone moments, it's hard to even pick out just a few. And beyond that, it's hard to not include movies or TV as well. Most of mine don't involve canonical texts or Great Literature, but the little stuff is what whetted my appetite for books and learning in the first place.
