Recently I received the following email that had me reaching for the tissues.
"I just wanted to write to let you know that we bought your book Little Lunch Truck for my son, and he loves it. He is six, but has significant physical, intellectual and developmental disabilities so he can't read. Nonetheless he loves your book. It is by far his favorite and he requests to read it many times each day. He loves it so much that it has been loved to death and we are now on our third copy.
Just wanted to let you know your book has brought a lot of joy to someone with great challenges. We hope you write more."
This is the kind of message that keeps creative people going. It is better than any other reward I could possibly receive. I sent a box to David right away with some new books and a big certificate honoring him as the official, number one fan of Little Lunch Truck.
Thank you David, and David’s Mom for making my day.
