I grew up with many of your books. They continue to be in my most treasured collection. Now I am a teacher, and I have the opportunity to introduce your books to many of my students. My PreKindergarten class in Georgia is enjoying our two week author study on your books. I read your books to my students throughout the year, but we do a special study on your works each year. Many of my students are sadly not read to much at home, thus my classroom39;s story time is often their first experience with your books. I love seeing their eyes light up at your beautiful illustrations and hearing them as they learn the words and help me quot;readquot; along. Many of them tell me they have gone home and asked their parents to get the books for them to keep at home. Thank you for all your wonderful books that I can share with my students. Many thanks, Cheryl Cate
