I get mail from readers and occasionally packages. But, I have never, ever received a package like the one that came from three girls in Mrs. Van Aken's class. The girls -- Brooklyn, Kiley and now Emma-- have been friends since they discovered The Fences Between Us. But The Friendship Doll really spoke to them. Can you understand why my heart nearly burst with joy when I opened the box (with help from Winston) to discover wonderful little vignettes from the book?

| Winston checks things out |

| What could this be? |
 |
| Treasures belonging to Bunny, Lois, Willie Mae and Lucy |
 |
| Bunny's special Gold Medal Crayons |
 |
| Lois' Amelia Earhart hanky--knotted to hold her quarter |
 |
| A state quarter, thoughtful messages and the star Lois wished on! |
 |
| Willie Mae's poems |
 |
| Brooklyn, Kiley and Emma's wish to see the Space Needle |
 |
| Lucy's treasures |
 |
| Pennies earned for writing letters; one blue ribbon and one green ribbon |
 |
| A treat for the author. . .who's not sure she'll share |
 |
| Where's my treat? wonders Winston |
 |
| I believe this too! |
Dear Kirby, We love that you loved your package. We can see Winston was a HUGE help.
ReplyDeleteWe love your books.
Your book lovers, Kiley, Brooklyn, and Emma
Very cool package! I haven't gotten to read The Friendship Doll yet. I have it at the top of my stack. I mean on the front page of my Kindle. Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Bravo, young readers.
