Otto’s Orange Day writer Jay Lynch passed along the following letter from a young reader along with a note from his teacher, Tracy Edmunds.
Hello Mr. Lynch,
I teach in a Reading Intervention program and have been using the Toon Books with my small class of struggling readers. Henry is a fourth grade student who came in to our class in January not able to read at all. He has made great strides in the past few months and he was exceedingly proud the other day that he could read Otto’s Orange Day on his own. He has written you a letter, no easy feat for him, and asked me to mail it to you. If you could provide a mailing address, I would love to be able to tell Henry that his letter is on its way to you.
Thank you,
Tracy Edmunds
