Remember the May B. Book Club Kit Giveaway? Here's a story from one of the runners-up. Sarah Baldwin teaches at the Batam Island International School in Batam, Indonesia. Her students (first through seventh grade) have just finished reading May B. I couldn't resist posting her lovely email and the pictures that accompanied it:

As happy as I am to be writing full time, I miss spending regular time with students. I hope as my book makes it into the world I’ll have opportunities to talk with kids during school visits, library talks, and book club discussions.
Come January
If you are a part of a children’s book club (or know anyone who might be interested), I’d love to work with your group. If you’re local (somewhere in New Mexico), I’ll make every effort to meet with your readers in person. If you’re anywhere else, I’d be happy to Skype with you during your meeting. All I ask is that your kids have read my book beforehand.
If you’re a teacher, go to my Skype an Author page to learn more about classroom or book club discussions. As part of Kate Messner’s Author Skype Tour, I’m also willing to give a few copies of my book away for those interested in a virtual author chat. Stop by to learn more!
See what writing books and sharing them with the world can do?! Love this so much!!
This is wonderful and encouraging, Caroline. Thank you for sharing it.
I am attempting to write my next novel--in verse, using May B, Out of the Dust, and Witness as my study guides. *fingers crossed*
so nice! what a fantastic thing to happen for a writer!
This is so sweet and just plain wonderful!
What a great book club! I love that you have prepared a kit. Is it also available online on your site?
It's great that they are enjoying your book and learning from it so much. Buffalo chips--ha! It is a bit of a shock when someone first learns what they are. :)
Mia,
The kit was a giveaway I did. The study guide (link within the post) has all the activities mentioned here.
What a touching sweet result your book has had on people (teachers and students) and across the world.
