Joshua,

Thanks for filling in some blanks for us. How lucky for you to have such a talented and generous teacher!

I’m so glad you found our site. I believe you are our first teenage commenter! It means a lot to us that you have joined the conversation.

What a thrill to have my former student clue me in to this site (I suspect Joshua’s name will be featured in the authors and/or illustrators lists soon enough! It was fun feeling like a fly on the wall while people spoke of my book. Keep up the good work!

Best,
Gavin Curtis

Gavin,

What an honour to have you stop in, listen, and leave your thoughts. Thank you!

We hope you’ll let us know when Joshua has a book out.

Thank you for this wonderful book,
Andrea

Anindita,

I agree.

May I also recommend “Across the Alley” by Richard Michelson and also illustrated by E. B. White. This is another one of our huge favourites. Since we have featured “oh no not ghosts!” as well as an interview with Richard Michelson, we are restraining ourselves from featuring “Across the Alley” immediately — but it’s tough because it is a FABULOUS and inspiring book!

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, giving us more to think about and inspiring more conversation! We look forward to hearing more from you soon,
Andrea

What a touching story. I will have read it to my nieces. It so nice to see something that doesn’t dumb down the american public. A really nice treat!

I am reading your story about The Bat Boy. My students would like to know if you are African-American.
