Having a lazy Sunday? Kick back, pour yourself a cuppa and enjoy Team Her.ie’s favourite reads of the week. Though it’s a tough task, given how many fantastic stories we’ve come across in the past seven days, each of us here at Her.ie have chosen one of our favourite picks from the week, gathered together in one handy collection. Enjoy! ___________________________________   Úna’s Choice: Out of this World Úna says: When I saw this tribute to director and all-round animating legend Hayao Miyazaki, I was blown away. Animator Alan Becker created this fantastic world on Minecraft that depicted the lands featured in Oscar-winning Spirited Away - and it's pretty stunning. It's still a work in-progress but you can't deny the beauty of his creations. Read the full story here. Grace's Choice: 'Dear Daddy...' Grace says: This heartwarming open letter from the Mum of a 3-year-old girl with autism was my favourite story of the week. Shanell Mouland reaches out to the kind stranger with whom she and daughter, Kate, shared the row with onboard a flight from Orlando to Philadelphia. Little Kate was instantly drawn to her new friend referring to him as 'Daddy'. The stranger never corrected her and instead engaged in conversation, keeping the little lady entertained. A truly lovely story.
