Vermont!!

I just want to thank all the kids and teachers and librarians and committee members who came from all over the state yesterday to celebrate your love of books and reading. It was amazing to meet all of you, and I was really honored to receive the award for
11 Birthdays
. Plus, I got to miss a tornado by a mile on the way home! Not something you usually consider when driving from Vermont to New Jersey!

Really cool poster based on elements in the book.

    Great to hear about your new books name, you got a good one. Oh, right, should say who i am. The girl that you took a picher with on your phone in VT. I’m a little bummed that the email did not come through, but whatever. Anyway, now that I have a cooler head I want to thank you for coming up to VT and shairing your books with us. I can not wait to read 13 gifts! Good luck on this book and further ones. And sorry about my spelling.

    Well that’s better then what I had to do. I was less then a mile (prob not even half mile) away from one. I was stuck Unser an underpass in Oaklahoma on a road trip! I’m glad you are okay though!

    I’ve read all your books and i just love them all, from 11 birthdays to Leap Day! Are you writing a new one soon?

    NOTE FROM WENDY: hi to you and the others asking when the next books are out…Beauty and the Beast is June 1, then Pi in the Sky next spring, then the last birthday book the following Fall. At least those are the dates as of now…thanks for asking!

    Well I am 51 going on 15 since I have taught freshmen for over 20 years. My wife is in her 40’s but still pretends she is 29 and sometimes people believe her. Anyway our 12 year old daughter was assigned six books to read at school so we decided we would also read them. I just finished 11 birthdays and enjoyed it so much I wanted to tell you that your books might be for kids but even an old man enjoyed it. Thank you.
