A Reader’s Biggest Gift to a Writer

Today I got an amazing gift from a reader: one of the most real, heart-warming reviews I’ve ever received for “Maya & Filippo Visit a Glacier”:

I read this book to 4 of my grandchildren. They loved it,When I asked how many stars out of 5;what would you give it? Three of them said 5. Joshua who is 6 and in Kindergarten said he would give 100!! They truly enjoyed me reading it to them. They also answered the questions.Even the twins got them right ( Josh and Zach, 6yrs old). I would recommend this book for any elementary age child. It was interesting,fun and informative.They also loved looking at the pictures. Thanks for a wonderful children’s book.

A review like this one, telling you about the experience a grandparent had with their little ones, the emotions they shared, the games they played using a book I’ve written and poured my heart and soul into, is the biggest gift a reader can give to an author.
