    My middle schoolers and I are doing a dance of joy about the books! We're so thankful. And that card?! We seriously devoted minutes talking about the quality of the paper and the kindness inside. Thank you from the bottoms of our hearts.

    Dear Sophie,
    Thank you so much for my surprising and delightful note from you this morning. We are very very grateful. Our students love picture books and I am always sharing them with students, teachers and families. These will be wonderful additions to our collection and wonderful for our entire school community. I feel so book blessed! Your generosity is so appreciated and we will send you photos and also maybe can Skype to thank you personally. I would love that.
    Best,
