Hello, my name is Mariajose. This morning I went to the Library and I found a paper with all the library's activities. And I read about you !!! I will go to the Storytelling for families. I was reading your Writer's guide in your website and I think is amazing !!! I love to write. When I lived in my country I used to write in Spanish but now I am living here in United States and I would like to start to do it in English. It's a hard process because I think "feelings" doesn't have language, and sometimes I don't have enough words to describe them.
ReplyDeleteI love children books and Illustration. I have my own character and I want to write about her. Her name is Mariapalito , My website is www.mariapalitousa.com , It could be an honor to have your visit .
I will try to read your books !! Congratulations
mariajose
Dear Maria Jose,
ReplyDeleteI love your website! It's so colorful and fun. And I love your greeting cards.
You are so right that feelings don't have a language. That's beautifully put. Please make sure to say hello to me next week at the A(gusta)Baker's Dozen. And keep writing!
