Her stories celebrate culture, diversity, and accepting one another. They tell of the warmth of the human heart and the tenacity of the human spirit.
I am so thankful for her book contribution and I hope that the Filipino children who will read her books will learn a bit of the diverse American culture and realize that, though the children of the world may be different, they are also essentially the same--in their hopes and dreams, in the games they play, in the innocence and kindness in their heats.
And so though the May box has left already, I will make sure the books will be with the next shipment.
