Throughout the year, we receive countless thank you notes from children across the country who receive books of their very own thanks to generous support from friends like you. We hope you enjoy this note of thanks from Patricia, a student at Adrian Elementary in South Euclid, Ohio.
On behalf of all our young readers, we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and a wonderful holiday season.
The post Thank You For The Books appeared first on First Book Blog.
I recently received two thank you notes–one in a roundabout sort of way–from children about my book, Finding My Place: One Girl’s Strength at Vicksburg. I thought I would share them here. These are my first ones from kids, and so I’m super excited! 
I am not changing spelling and or punctuation when re-typing, and I am not sharing names .
This one is from my friend, Becky, who bought the book for her niece. . .
Dear Aunt Becky and Uncle Ron, Thank you for the Book “Finding My Place” I Loved it! Love, G
This one is from a friend of my mom’s (and mine!) that goes to her church. The friend bought the book for her granddaughter.
Dear Miss Dill, I really, really loved your book. I learned lots of stuff like people had to live in caves. My mom and grandma and I really think it was a really good book. It was a really intresting book. Thank you for signing my book. I am going to share your book with my class. Your friend, M. R.
There is not a sweeter thing than notes like this from kids. It brings a huge smile to my face. I am busy scheduling school visits and writing conferences.

Yesterday I opened my mail box and was greeted by a huge envelope full of the most adorable hand-written thank you notes (for my Author Visit Day a couple of weeks ago) from the students at The Village School in Naples. They put a lot of effort into their words and drawings, and reading these was clearly one of the highlights of my career as a writer.
I see bright futures and successful careers for these students, because they know the RIGHT way to make others remember who they are. In 25 years, I will still remember them.

Last week, on the day I taught my students how to write letter poems by showing them Brod Bagert’s Poem “The Poem on My Pillow,” one of my students came up to me with a letter poem… to me. I was touched by her words and found myself holding back tears. She brought [...]
