I love this! Tien said she went to see you last weekend with some of her students. One of these days I will get Anthony and Anna to one of your signings. You are like a rock star in our house. Hoping for sometime in 2010. :) Merry Christmas!

Give books for the holidays! Its no secret that the book industry is weak and struggling. As I said last year consider a gift that will truly leave a long lasting meaning to the people in your life. Yes, baby clothes are cute. Yes, video games are cool...

Grace, thank you so much! I know she will love the books. We got Year of the Dog from the library, and she loved for me to read it to her, so I know she'll enjoy having her own copy. She also has quite a few of your picture books, which she adores! The picture books have also made great birthday gifts for her friends. Can't wait to read her Where ... See Morethe Mountain Meets the Moon!

Sharon, Amelia just turned 5. She was born in Jiangsu province. She is just starting to be able to read simple books - so exciting to watch as she surprises herself with her ability to read!

Carolyn Charron Grace,
I was one of Rob's nurses at the Dana Farber. I now make quilted mice as "study buddies" for patients on clinical trials. In honor of Rob and the book Robert's Snow I would love to send you one. If interested, contact me at ccharron@partners.org

Hi Carolyn! It's nice to hear from you. I hope you are doing well. The study buddies sound sweet--are they blankets?

This proverb has always been a favorite of mine, but it took me quite a while for me to truly puzzle out the meaning...

Remember those peppermint trees? I used them for my the labels of my homemade holiday gifts! This year my schedule has not allowed for as many of the fun crafts I like to do, but I was able to squeeze in some time for a little holiday fun...

Tien-Lih

Tien-Lih Nice seeing you and chatting with you today, Grace! I know what those students will be talking about tomorrow morning - they'll make the rest of my class envious! I will continue working on being your publicist in Westwood. :) Here's a link that you might enjoy when you're having an "Anne-moment." http://www.onpoi...ntradio.org/2008/08/anne-of-green-gables

Anne of Green Gables turns 100, and looks surprisingly spry. We pay her a visit.

Hi Tien! Thanks so much for coming out. Now I really regret not finding those red braid-wig-hats in PEI. I guess that means I will have to go back!

Eileen My son Kian was so happy to see you today at the Newtonville bookstore. Ever since you visited his school, we have been visiting your website every evening when Kian comes home from school!!!! We are reading "Where the Mountain Meets the Moon" it is the first novel that Kian has been interested to sit and listen to!!!!... and I love reading the book as well!!! It is so awesome for children to have an Asian role model. If you think about it, there aren't too many Asian role models in the mainstream. My oldest son who is now 15 was the only Asian boy in his kindergarten class, he used to think he looked caucasian like his dad.... the only other Asian kid that joined his school was an Indian boy in 4th grade. Kian the younger child is proud to be of Chinese heritage. Thank you for writing and illustrating culture-rich books with Chinese heritage.... and Thank you for being a great role model for our young Asian Americans.

Michelle Catherine Miller Shutt I just read When the Mountain Meets the Moon to my 5 year old daughter and it is now her favorite book, next to the Little House series (a very high honor). The color pictures are beautiful - and I'm seriously considering buying another copy of the book just to cut out and frame the pictures (and destroying books goes ...against my librarian's heart). We both loved it -and now I'm hungrily devouring all of your blogs (I loved Ruth Chew and the Anne of Green Gables too!) and have both the "Year of.." books to read to her next. Have you ever considered selling poster or print versions of the color pictures in Where the Mountain Meets the Moon? If you ever did, we'd be first in line. Thanks for such wonderful stories and art.

Michelle - I actually just bought an extra copy of WTMMTM for just that reason! I'm going to make a series of wall-hangings for my daughter for CNY (unless Grace has prints from the book available by then).

Hi Michelle and Amy! Thanks so much for your nice words, I'm so delighted that both your daughters like the book so much. I haven't been able to get my act together to make prints yet, though CNY is a good goal...it's Feb. 14th this year, correct?

Amy, I'm glad I'm not the only one! And yes, Ms. Lin, it's 2/14 (I'm a librarian, I had to go look it up). My daughter will be thrilled to to hear that I "heard" from you. I hope that you are able to offer prints for sale - they are truly beautiful.

I'm still participating in the BOOKS WITH FLAIR program! So, slightly disheveled (can you tell I'm still a bit tired from my NY trip?) and on my way to the grocery store, I went & signed the books waiting for me at the Porter Square Book Store. I really love this Books with Flair program...
