It’s so much fun to get thoughtful notes from young readers. At a recent visit to Cook Elementary School in Midland, MI, the kids had put up notes around posters of each of my book covers. (Beautifully hand painted by volunteer, Leigh Young.) Here are a few of my favorite notes. What fun!
I LOVE it that the schools are teaching about passion, voice, style, etc. in 2nd grade! And “the spaces between the words” mentioned by 1st grader Lilly . . . well . . . I’ll have to think about that one.
Enjoy!
