Foreign Editions

May 5, 2010 by Mary Amato Leave a Comment

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.

Mary Amato’s childhood diaries and notebooks

Mary Amato's first notebook, started at the age of seven

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.

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
