Recently I was watching Pixar’s Soul and I realized that although I really like movies that show the beauty of everyday life and make you want to live life more fully, I never read a book like that. Perhaps that’s because much of the strength of those movies come from visual images and beautiful soundtracks, which is hard to pull of in a book. Or perhaps I haven’t searched hard enough.
Examples of movies that have what I mean: Soul, About Time, Nine Days, Barbie
I like beautiful descriptions of everyday things or of nature and animals. I also love depictions of healthy relationships and families. The book can be happy or sad (bittersweet would be perfect), as long at it ends on a hopeful note. It can be realistic or fantasy or anything in between.
