These are really wonderful and encouraging notes.<br /><br />And Barbara, I loved All-of-a-Kind Family books as a kid, and watched my son fall in love with them many years later. Those stories will be with me until the end. . .Rebecca Steadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13445577047689235083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4216513557237296116.post-50659244659272555552015-09-04T00:39:18.234-04:002015-09-04T00:39:18.234-04:00Dear Rebecca,

When I read the chapter, Dollar-Eight, I had to find a way to reach you. I was so very delighted by your subtle nod to Ella in All-of-a-Kind Family Uptown and the time she nervously ordered a cream cheese sandwich. As a member and Past Chair of the Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee, my heart is always warmed to know the lasting impact of All-of-a-Kind Family on readers. Just wanted you to know I noticed!<br /><br /><br />All best,<br />Barbara Bietz<br />Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee<br />Association of Jewish Libraries<br />www.JewishBooksforKids.comBarbara Bietzhttp://www.jewishbooksforkids.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4216513557237296116.post-31823269820824722862015-09-03T10:03:18.345-04:002015-09-03T10:03:18.345-04:00Yay, I am so excited to find out you have a new bo...Yay, I am so excited to find out you have a new book out! I have a ten year old daughter, also named Rebecca, who will also be very excited. We have both read your three previous books and loved them. Rebecca (my daughter) thinks all three of them should have won the Newbery. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world.<br /><br />Hilary Meek<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00414505030002752562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4216513557237296116.post-20635665874141079062015-08-24T19:35:29.538-04:002015-08-24T19:35:29.538-04:00My daughter and my sister finished your book about...My daughter and my sister finished your book about a week ago and insisted that I read it.

Then the host said that it was you, but that you were done talking, which sucked, but then when I got home, your book was waiting for me! <br /><br />The prologue is delicious! Can't wait to finish!<br /><br />Congratulations all the way around!
