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.

A good book can keep a child entertained for hours, but there aren't many that can actually make babies cry when they end.

That's exactly what happened to one little boy, as shown in an adorable video that has gone viral online.

He looks completely engrossed while his mother reads him the book 'I Am a Bunny', a classic children's book about the pattern of the seasons.

However, when the story ends and his mother closes the book, he immediately begins crying.

The only thing that seems to placate him is opening the book at the beginning and reading the story again.

It's heartening to see such a little child so completely in love with a book, but it must get a little wearing for his parents after a while.
