Jodi Moore, Children's Author got this adorable note and photo from a writer-friend of hers: “I had to share this with you. We took our daughter to the ocean recently and she spent a good portion of time with her bucket on her head. It hit me when she erased the dragon prints from the sand that she was acting like the boy in your book, When a Dragon Moves In! My husband and I were cracking up! It is one of her favorites, and is in regular rotation.”
