That’s fantastic, Corinne!

And yes, thank you, Aline, for pointing that out…

Thanks for the tip Aline. I read Listen to the Wind with my kids last week and now my 12 year is reading Three Cups of Tea (the adult version as we are still on the library’s wait list for the young adult version). He says it is “addicting” and I must believe him as he was up until 11pm last night reading it!

I just heard that Greg Mortenson has a new book, due out in December by Viking: “Stones into Schools: Promoting Peace with Books, Not Bombs, in Afghanistan and Pakistan.” The new book will allow readers to learn more about his ongoing work and the schools he has established.

We read Say’s Tea with Milk last night and my two were captivated – they got quite annoyed with me when I interrupted the reading to talk about when it was set!

It’s great to hear other voices of approbation.

While I’m not familiar with Mortenson’s work, I wholeheartedly support your nomination of Allen Say — a genius, in my mind! I’ve been a big fan for decades.

Good choices! Of course, I’m completely biased as I love Allen Say’s books. I recently read Emma’s Rug to my daughter, as I remembered reading it before and finding it intriguing. Again, it left a distinct impression on my daughter as well. I’ve read Three Cups of Tea and Mortenson is also a good candidate for nomination.
