Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The poetry may not be the tops, but this is a charming verse story about two children who go looking for a giant in the woods. They get frightened in the thorny darkness, and we gradually perceive sketchy anthropomorphic figures looming through the shapes of trees and leaves. An effective rendering of the way children let their own imaginations build up fear for fun; and of course the ending is deliciously sunny and bright.
