Amazing !!!
He was speechless when he read this in the morning. Thank you so much. It’s so great to see how little things like this can make a difference in a child. He was so excited to get to school and tell all his buddies. David will be writing to you later tonight after the book fair and we will send a picture or two 😉
Blessing!

Writing is hard for me too. My favorite color is turquoise. I step on spiders or slap them with magazines. I’m afraid of flying cockroaches (especially when I’m in the shower). I wish I knew a secret kung fu move.

Hi Mrs. Look, Thank you for sending me this special post I was very excited when I read it this morning. My report was so good I probably had at least 40 people come by to look at it. I was able to share information on your book and I had a quiz which people had to answer question to get a piece of candy. I took a copy of your post with me and I had so many people ask me how I got a hold of you. It made me feel really good =) I tried to get a picture for you with my teacher but it was so busy tonight I am sure there was over 300 people coming and going all night at the book fair that I missed him. My mom took a picture of my brothers and a friend with me but I am sorry I forgot to put on my costum for the picture we took it at the end when I was cleaning up. SHe did make me take some at home with the costum so you can see what I did look like all night =) Thank you for making the Alvin Ho series I really enjoy reding them, there is many funny stories in there. I think there is 5 book if I am right, but I have only read two. I promise I will read them all soon =) Do you have any other books or series you think I would like to read ? I cant belive you drove so fast. Was the car a race car ? I also hate spiders. I took Kung FU when I was younger now I play soccer, basketball and football I want to try and get a scholarship one day and play in college. What else can I tell you about me…..I never had to eat any kind of animal and I never plan to but my baby brother pee in my water bottle once and I drank some then spit it out all over the place. Ok well I hope you like the pictures I have to go now. Thank you very much for everything. David
Hi Lenore! He would’ve kept writing if I let him lol but it’s late so I had to send him to bed still full of energy 😉 The book project was a success!!. David had many people come up and take a look at your post once the word got out that we actually got a hold of you. This will be an experience that he will never forget =) I have a couple pictures for you however I am not sure where or how to send them or get them posted on here. Let me know what I need to do.
Blessings

Oh, I only wish our museum crossing had been given a little more time. I guess this means I have to come back to NYC when Beth’s class goes in four years. And in between then, I hope there will be another chance for us to meet, under an umbrella or something other. Love you Lenore and am grateful for your presence in my life. You’re a great friend and person. (I’m finally coming out of my month-long fog and will post soon about our little meeting.)
