Hi Renee. I think it’s very cool that your daughter and her friends share some of the same passion for the environment that Cornelia does. I hope they - and you - will enjoy the book. This reviewer sure did!

After reading the excerpt of Cornelia’s biography I look forward to reading it, as well as getting additional copies for my daughter and friends who are very much interested in making a difference with regards to the environment.

Once again Kathy, I look forward to reading another one of your books.

Hi Kathy
Glad I checked out your website. I have two grandchildren that will turn two, August and October. They will be getting “A Treasure for my Pocket”. My middle daughter just graduated with her degree in horticulture last December. She is going to love “Love every Leaf” Enjoy your time away. Look forward to seeing you. By the way great picture on the website.

You could well be right, Fran. I would have to check my research notes to let you know the source of my information. But however we interpret the background events, the important thing is that a weakened economy was an important contributor to Germany’s vulnerability to Hitler’s anti-Semitic policies.

A review for School Library Journal? I hope you will send me a copy - especially as you are loving the book!

Happy reading and happy gardening!

I’m reviewing Love Every Leaf for SLJ, and I have a question — on page 7 you cite the repayment by Germany of loans made by other countries. I thought the other nations charged Germany with reparitions that had to be paid.
I am loving this book (I love to garden and have since the second grade!).
Hope you have time to get back to me,
Fran

Hi Kathy!

I think having students read the biography would be a terrific way to inspire them into action!

Hey everybody. Sorry if my comments on comments are a bit disconnected. I’m still just getting the hang of this whole blogging thing. Happy reading!

Hello Andrew. Thanks for your complement on my books. And I sure do remember my visit to Princess Elizabeth School yesterday. It was one of the best visits ever - thanks to how well your teachers prepared you ahead of time and the enthusiastic response of kids like you! I’m delighted that you’re keen to read the rest of “The Yearbook” horror story. If you speak with Mrs. Van Kralingen, she may just be able to help you out on that! Happy being spooked!

Hi Maxx. Getting into a story too quickly can be a problem if you leave readers too confused about what’s going on. But taking too long to get into a story can be a problem too. When I’m not sure about a story’s beginning, I’ll get some friends whose opinions I trust to read it for me, because other people can often see things about a story that it’s hard for its writer to see. Maybe you have a friend like that, who can read your beginning for you. In the meantime, have fun with your story!
