This is no April fools joke. The other day, I received an email from Amy Bowllan at the School Library Journal. Amy has this amazing blog over at the SLJ website which I subscribe to. Last November, she interviewed my business partner JoAnne and I about our children's book series, Bur Bur and Friends. Since that time, Amy and I have stayed in touch on occasion. Her email asked me advice around unspoiling our kids. I sent a note back to her and thought nothing of it.

Please don't keep this a secret. I would be humbled and honored if you would consider passing this along to 2 or 3 others you know to help spread the word about the good work we are doing.
