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!)
That is just fantastic :-D
ReplyDeleteThe teacher also wrote to me and said that the whole class applauded at the end. BIG Smile.
ReplyDeletePete, I think you just gave her the nicest award she could hope for. Jeff
ReplyDeleteJeff -you have that EXACTLY right!
ReplyDeleteGetting a note like that makes all the hard work worthwhile - Well done :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris - it's such a great reminder of why I wrote it! Dreams do come true...

Hi Tracy Jo and Megan! Always good to see you and thanks for the kind words. A note like that is uplifting and grounding at the same time!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing sweeter than the joy of a child. I'm all "ahhhh" for you. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sally. The week had its ups and downs, but this always brought me back to smiling.
