It was perhaps providential that I found your blog. I was doing a netsearch for Jennifer Ziegler, the speaker at the SCWI meeting, and found myself at a review for Dumpling Soup. Dont ask me how that happened.
I found the story very interesting and that has given me ideas of how stories from my culture can be heard too. The post I read on your blog was immensely inspiring. I love the way in which writers are there for each other now. Does make us quite an international community.
So just wanted to say, "Thank you" and hope we can meet one day.
My name is Raimie, and I am currently a student at UH Hilo. I am in the teacher's education program and student teaching at E.B. de Silva Elementary. I have used Dumpling Soup to teach my students about having a beginning, middle, and ending in a piece of writing. They to wrote personal stories about christmas and new years with their family. It warmed my heart to read the students a story which is based on traditions in Hawaii. Both the students and I loved the story. I even showed them your website, and made it known that they to could be an author someday. I am also writing to ask your permission to use both your picture and cover of dumpling soup to be included in my portfolio. I want to write about using literature based in Hawaii to better help the students relate to the content in which they are learning. In other words, I would like to give you credit for being such a huge influence in my lesson.
Greatly Appreciated
