It’s all true!
Dr. Seuss whose given name was Theodore Suess Geisel won the Pulitzer Prize Special Citation
Award in 1984 for his children’s books. Dr. Seuss also won an Academy Award in 1947 for a United States Air Force film ‘Death for Design’.
He used the name “Dr. Seuss” because his mother always dreamed
of having a son who was a doctor. Of course, We all love Dr. Seuss, but my own favorite story is Horton Hatches the Egg. “I meant what I said and I said what I meant” and Horton Hears a Who. “A person’s a preson no matter how small.” So I used these books to teach first grade CCD when I had my first job as Religious Education Coordinator at our parish church. The pastor fired me because he thought Dr. Seuss and Horton were not theologically sound. I still think I was right.

“Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.” Dr Seuss
