Charlotte's Web is one that I really remember being read and loving.

But one of my favorite children's books is one my mother read to me all the time. It was the story of Ferdinand, the bull who liked to sit under the cork tree and smell the flowers.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
