A Perfect Start to My Day

This morning I opened my email to find this note:

Dear Miss Goodwin,


My name is Peter and I am in the 3rd grade. My mother just bought an autographed copy of "The Christmas Village", because we read it in class. I couldn't stop reading it ! It was just hard to put down. Everyone in my family wants to read it. I think you should write Part Two ! I also think you should win an award for it. Thanks for writing a great book.

From Pete (age 9).

Not much could take the smile off my face this morning. Hope your day starts off well too (and stays that way!)

  1. The teacher also wrote to me and said that the whole class applauded at the end. BIG Smile.
