It’s a thrill when a publisher in another country wants to publish one of my books in another language. Sometimes, the publisher will hire a new artist and change the book’s look or even change the title. Here are some of my foreign-language editions. See if you can guess the languages of these translations.
If you are a teacher or librarian and would like higher resolution images to enlarge for your classroom or library, you can download these images. Or see my photostream on flickr for these and many more photos.

Here is a slide show of my books. If I’m coming to your school to do an assembly, you can project this while the students are entering the all-purpose room and waiting for the presentation to begin.
Mary Amato's first notebook, started at the age of seven
When I was seven years old, my family and I went on a cross-country car trip, and my mother gave me this notebook and suggested that I write down what I see on the journey. Although I was nervous about writing and afraid that I would make mistakes, I wrote entries and dictated some entries for her to write down. I loved reading it over and over later.
At the age of eight, I received my first “real” diary from Santa Claus. At first I was afraid to write in it because it looked so pretty, but I did write often.
Mary Amatos' diary from ages eight to nine
At the age of ten, my mother died. I didn’t write for a full year. Then, my writing changed. I found a little blank book that a plumbing store was giving away and in it I poured out my emotions. –Mary Amato
