Drawing by Julius in Germany Luisa! I just met a girl named Luisa.
Well, I didn't meet her face to face. But I feel like I've met her because she sent me the most intriguing envelope covered with stickers, smiley faces, flowers, and stamps. From Germany! I nearly choked on my lunch (an omelet) when I opened the envelope and found this drawing by Luisa's brother, Julius. Can you believe how great it is? There's another fabulous drawing by their younger sister, Paulina. And then there's Luisa's letter, which--dare I say it?--is simply perfect. "Stephen King said that he believes writing is telepathy," Luisa says in her letter. "I believe sometimes words are like music. It's not a language for only one person, and nobody can understand everything (even the composers), but everybody can understand something."
Luisa. I'm going to write you a letter immediately. Be patient. It'll take time to travel from Missouri to Germany. (Note to self: I need to find out the name of the person who translated our 43 Old Cemetery Road series into German. I want to thank him or her for introducing kids like Luisa, Julius, and Paulina to our books.)
