I saw that you liked my GR review of Between Us and Abuela. I really loved how straightforward it was. Thank you for writing it. Also, I wanted to let you know that I reviewed it on my "Monday Morning Book Report" on our library's facebook page. I'm the children's librarian. Hopefully, there will be lots of readers. Apparently, I need a question mark? https://www.facebook.com/SummitCountyLibrary/videos/117125446857

Hi Ms. Perkins, I just read "You Bring the Distant Near" and was reminded of "A Suitable Boy" by Vikram Seth. That book is thousands of pages long. Your saga was an accessible, rapid read for a young audience yet it still spanned generations. It made me wonder how many scenes you wrote for the Das family compared to how many actually made it into the final book?

Hi Ms. Perkins, My students are in the midst of reading Bamboo People, and they are really engaged in the story. My students had a couple of questions for you. First, do you think you will write a sequel? And, did you have a particular person in mind when you wrote about the character Tu Reh? (my students loved his struggle) Thank you, Kelli Saenz The Piedmont School
