Joanne Murray, or J.K. Rowling as she is known the world over, was born Joanne “Jo” Rowling on July 31, 1965, in Gloucestershire, England. Celebrated for creating the wildly popular Harry Potter series, Rowling is also well-known for inspiring kids to read, for winning innumerable book awards, and for charming the media with such an incredible rags-to-riches story that Forbes named her the first person to become a U.S. dollar billionaire by writing books! Thinkwriter is delighted to present what J.K. Rowling describes as her “most vivid memory of childhood.” What follows is that memory, in Rowling’s own words.
My most vivid memory of childhood is my father sitting and reading The Wind in the Willows to me. I had the measles at the time, but I don’t really remember that. I just remember the book.
In light of the truth that a single memory illuminates a person’s worldview in the same way a single blood sample reveals a person's health status, what does J.K. Rowling’s early memory suggest to you about her worldview?

creativity is contagious makes perfect sense to me. Not really, it is just a guess.
Mine is a guess as well but I voted for the wind is invisible. Having not read the first book nor seen the first movie, I do believe it's about wizards, magic,plus the fact the toothache was invisible. I really don't know. Just a wild guess. Glad to see another post by you.
I voted for what felt like the obvious answer (words make the world bigger) which probably means I got it wrong!
