It is indeed a d...Good Morning from Chicago, Lena!<br /><br />It is indeed a droopy-eyed MaryJo who stayed up all night reading BOY TOY. I am indebted to you for turning me to such a poignant crucial book. It will be recommended all around my life. Parents and teachers need to know this well crafted story. Thank you.<br /><br />What a joy to be in touch with you, Lena. It is so fantastic that you are following your writing path. I so look forward to reading YOUR work and wish you great energy as you offer your creative gifts.<br /><br />Today you are in the midst of a pile of materials in my music room. Want to guess why? (just kidding- no more guessing) <br /><br />Actually, I am preparing a 'WRINKLE' workshop and one of the photos I share from the cozy writing space is of you, your Gran and your sister. I will send you a copy if you would like.<br /><br />In February, a very enthusiastic student generously insisted I borrow his copy of a book written by the author who visited his school. That night, I felt I was reading myself back to your Gran's neighborhood. I could see the mailbox, hear sounds from Birdland, smell restaurants' wafting invitations to enter from the street....<br /><br />Soon I came to the point where Miranda was challenged to recite the first line from the book she carried.<br /><br />Lena, before the sentence presented itself, I knew what was coming......I said HOLY @$#%*!!! SHE'S READING 'WRINKLE'!!!<br /><br />Rebecca Stead has given an exquisite tribute to your Gran in her insightful book. Soon I will write to thank her and offer her some information and photos she may enjoy.<br /><br />Did you know that Mrs. Who's 'WRINKLE' quotes came from a book your Gran had given your grandfather? She tried to obtain a copy for me but it was out of print. Now, thanks to the Internet, I now have DICTIONARY OF FOREIGN PHRASES AND CLASSICAL QUOTES edited by H.P. Jones. Believe it or not, the Greek quote in 'WRINKLE' has been wrong from day one. In my workshop I share THE BIG FAT GREEK MISTAKE, show how it happened and give participants the accurate Euripides quote.....<br /><br />'Nothing is hopeless, we must hope for everything.'<br /><br />I will leave you with that for now, but I will carry you in my heart as I do my day. Take care, Lena. I wish you and your family lots of love.<br /><br />xoxomjcMaryJonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891613734634213201.post-57631090367826037842010-04-17T18:42:20.937-04:002010-04-17T18:42:20.937-04:00HMMMM . . .

In fact, I will now refer to myself as a 'POOPHEAD' (a term of endearment used in the book I wrote for a child entitled THE CUTE LITTLE BIG BAD WOLF - Did you know that the wolf blew those houses down because each of the pigs was calling him that inappropriate word?)<br /><br />But - I digress......<br /><br />And, I am still in twinkle-of-the-eye mode....<br /><br />So, without an invitation to stress, here is another clue.......or two....<br /><br />Rebecca Stead was in MY town when she missed the gathering you mentioned.<br /><br />AND you introduced me to Birdland and we have munched on scones in your Gran's warm and wonderful kitchen. <br /><br />And, it was the NYC memorial.....<br /> And, here are some words - recorded book, crochet a name, singing at Carnegie Hall - are you still in guessing mode?<br /><br />I have just called the library and put BOY TOY on hold to pick up this afternoon. My life's work involves kids of all ages and it behooves me to help parents know about important books.<br /><br />Take care and happy guessing.........<br /><br />almost a non-anonymous fan but still, for the time being,<br /><br />xoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891613734634213201.post-20547594875754683312010-04-17T10:23:56.715-04:002010-04-17T10:23:56.715-04:00I am so embarrassed - I've been wracking my br...I am so embarrassed - I've been wracking my brain and I vaguely remember - the feeling I remember is joy on a sad occasion, (I love serendipity!) but there were so many swirling emotions and people! The Memorial in CT? PLEASE reveal yourself to me, Anonymous!

My morning students taking pajama piano lessons before school shared some funny jokes with me today so I am in a smiley mood.<br /><br />Here is your hint......we were last together at your Gran's memorial and I brought you greetings from a friend of yours on the Upper West Side whom I had just met that morning. It was a surprising coincidence that her Grandmother and my Mom knew each other back in MY state. <br /><br />It is YES a small world afterall........xoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891613734634213201.post-67444248016538544942010-04-16T08:21:44.115-04:002010-04-16T08:21:44.115-04:00Please keep the book recommendations coming.
