Way back on October 17 and 18, 2008, I posted photos of Kathleen and Georgie Liech who live in Nairobi. They were holding Busy Toes, written by Wendie Old and me under the pen name C. W. Bowie. Today I received photos of another young lady, Hope J. B. Carpenter, with her grandmother Dorothy Carpenter, a friend who lives in Maryland. I feel close to Hope, altho' I know her only thru her grandma, because my oldest daughter is also named Hope. At any rate, the joy and wonder on a small child's face is the same, wherever the child lives--Nairobi, Maryland, or somewhere in between. And seeing that child embrace a book, especially one I wrote, is a wonderful joy, and brings me hope (pun intended) for the world's future.
