Great message! I felt like crying while I watched your clip because it is so easy for kids to get “plugged in” and so hard to get “unplugged”. Thanks for the great video to show to kids!
Can’t be said too often. And how would they know, unless someone cares enough to tell them?!? Thank you for sharing this message!

I am a girl in 5th grade, and I am a Korean.
I remember I had a skyping with Mary Amato on April.
Mary Amato, do you remember me?
I am in Korea, Asia Pacific Internation School, and 5th grade.
I remember we skyped on April 1st.
Do you remember us? Team Transformers?
If you do remember us, Please send me an email.
I wish you’ll soon reply me back.
Hi Christine,
I do remember! It was a thrill for me to skype with students in Korea! I’ve heard the Please Write in This Book will be published in a special edition containing both English and Korean. Say hi to all your friends and your very nice teacher.

I am in the same class as Christine.
Through we are moving up to 6th grade, I will be always reading your books!
All through our ‘TEAM TRANSFORMERS’ have now – kind of – seperated, I bet each of them will have little memories inside of skyping you! (Expecially girls)
I hope you have a great summer! (Its summer in KOREA)
I am happy to hear from you. I will never forget skyping with you and your classmates. It was a thrill! I wish I could speak Korean. I would like to visit one day. Enjoy 6th grade! The book I’m writing now is about two 8th graders.

I love, Mary Amato’s books! Today she went to my school, and talked about her life. I read The word eater, Please write in this book, and stinky and successful. They were amazing! Mary Amato made me want to become an author when I grow up. Your biggest fan, Michelle
Hi Michelle, I’m so glad you’re a fan. Read a lot and laugh a lot!

Hi Mary amato! I love the books you write! right now I’m reading the Naked Mole-rat letters. I wanted to ask you what do you do when you don’t have any ideas.
Please reply,
Mary amato book lover 😀
Hi Book Lover,
I have to say that I never run out of ideas. If you feel as if you don’t have enough ideas, or if you have a problem coming up with ideas, create a little brainstorming notebook and start writing down ideas. Write all ideas down, even if you think they might not be good. You will improve if you keep your eyes and ears open.–Mary Amato

Thank you so much!
In school we do have notebooks where we write down all the Ideas. It actually does help! When did you start writing your first book?

Lovely. absolutely lovely….presented in just a perfect way!

I think naked mole-rats are interesting and have such a funny name…I put them in some of my other books as an “inside joke.”
Please write back.
