What a delightful message that is! I'm flattered to think you are reading my articles to your kids! It makes me want to send you the tooth fairy books I write for my own kids :). I'm up to 4 completed books, I tend to write them 3 pages a night. My kids keep asking me when they'll be published, so if I have a hard copy at any time I'll send it along.

I think I'm most happy that you're getting honest comments from your school age kids about their experiences. That's so valuable. Too often, we just cohabitated with our kids and don't really learn what they're going through.

This summer we did a family road trip and we were listening to audiobooks. My daughter suggested a book so we downloaded it and read it. That was by far the best book we listened to on the whole trip.

You've given me a couple ideas for articles. I have to get cracking this morning, we've had a winter storm and I just came back from changing a flat tire. Cheers!
