I am a little girl. My name is Saoussan. I am seven years old. I am in grade two now. I came to Canada one and half year ago. I didn't know how to speak English at all. I was just sitting and listening. A lot of funny things happened to me. Children were trying to talk to me, but I was not able to answer them. I began to talk a little by little. I finished grade one and now I am in grade two. The teacher now is complaining to my dad that I am talking a lot in the class and I read and write a lot of stories. One day I found a book called Thomas's Snowsuit. I read it and I laughed with my family.

I went to the library and I brought some of your books. I enjoyed reading them. I even read them to my dad that he laughed so hard he could not stop laughing. Please come to our school we want to hear a story from you and we want to see you.

I liked her letters so much that I decided to turn them into a book. So Saoussan and I wrote a lot of letters back and forth and we made the letter into a book. Saoussan and I are both the authors and we split the royalties.
