I know that you and all of the people at Scholastic see your job as more of a mission than a job. I do hope to visit the Philippines again soon. I have to do some research for a book a publisher has asked me to write: From the 7,000 Isles: Filipino Folktales. Plus, I just love it there. Tell Meinard, Henry and the whole Scholastic team that I said hello. Thanks for telling everyone in the Philippines about Kids Read! Much love, Dianne
