I recently received two thank you notes–one in a roundabout sort of way–from children about my book, Finding My Place: One Girl’s Strength at Vicksburg. I thought I would share them here. These are my first ones from kids, and so I’m super excited! 
I am not changing spelling and or punctuation when re-typing, and I am not sharing names .
This one is from my friend, Becky, who bought the book for her niece. . .
Dear Aunt Becky and Uncle Ron, Thank you for the Book “Finding My Place” I Loved it! Love, G
This one is from a friend of my mom’s (and mine!) that goes to her church. The friend bought the book for her granddaughter.
Dear Miss Dill, I really, really loved your book. I learned lots of stuff like people had to live in caves. My mom and grandma and I really think it was a really good book. It was a really intresting book. Thank you for signing my book. I am going to share your book with my class. Your friend, M. R.
There is not a sweeter thing than notes like this from kids. It brings a huge smile to my face. I am busy scheduling school visits and writing conferences.

So true, Margo! Kids’ thank-you notes are THE BEST! I’ve saved all the ones I’ve rec’d over the years!
