Here is an exchange between a mother, Amy Ledyard (a former student of mine), and her daughter on my book about my daughter's experiences living in Mexico, "Malinda in Mexico: The Magic of Mexico Through the Eyes of a Young Girl":
"Mommy, did you know that at the end of Malinda in Mexico, they moved to the United States of America?!?" Afton just asked me. "Yes, I did know that Afton. That family actually currently lives in Virginia."
"WHAT?!? In Virginia?? How do you know that?"
"Because the man that wrote Malinda in Mexico was my college Spanish teacher."
"MOM!!! YOU KNOW THE MAN WHO WROTE MALINDA IN MEXICO???? WHY DON'T I KNOW HIM??"
Then Amy wrote a review of my book for Masthof Press, the current publisher:
We first read Malinda in Mexico as a read-aloud with my 4 and 5 year-olds. We loved reading the book together and living these beautiful stories of life in Mexico from the perspective of a little girl. My oldest has now re-read the book independently, and she picked up even more. It sparked wonderful conversations about living abroad and different cultures around the world. I even got to share some of my own stories from spending time in Mexico. This was such a wonderful story, full of relatable young-child emotions, fascinating experiences, and a culture that's warm and rich. We highly, highly recommend Malinda in Mexico!
Thank you Amy!
