When I was in sixth grade, I wrote my favorite author of the time, Katherine Paterson, famous for such books as Bridge to Teribithia, Jacob Have I Loved, and my favorite, Lyddie. I let her know how much I had enjoyed her books, and asked her about the research she had done to write Lyddie. She sent me back a handwritten postcard with suggestions for additional reading on New England textile factory workers. My mom recently found it tucked in with a bunch of family pictures. I'm pleased to have it back.
