Why do I write? Just read this letter ...

I received the highest honour an author can possibly get this week: a letter from an educational assistant telling me that one of her grade 5 students read his first book this winter.

And it was a book written by me.

Then he read the rest of my books.

Then ... he wrote his OWN book.

Really touched and very, very honoured. What higher praise can an author possibly want or receive? I'm very lucky indeed.

Here's a link to the whole letter on my other blog: http://phdowding.blogspot.ca/2013/06/...
