My favorite book at this moment is Street cat named Bob. You can also watch a movie. Amazing story!
The book of my childhood is Little Prince of A.Saint-Exupery.
And what about a movie, i liked "Amelie" - little bit crazy but nice one)).
If you like serious movies you can watch "A monster calls". It's very emotional one.
Oh yes, We had to read this book at school and it was very influencial in my childhood years.
