Hi there! I'm a 6th grade teacher in Cleveland, TN and we are currently out of school indefinitely because of the Coronavirus. I had an idea to host a daily video chat session where I would read a book for 20 minutes to those students who would wish to join. I have LOVED "Willow King" since I was in the third grade, and thought it would be a great book to read to them online! Would that be okay with you, the author?

Chris Platt Hi Kathryn,
What an awesome idea! Of course you are welcome to read the book to your students. I'm honored that you would do that! This has been a great week for hearing from my fans who are now grown up. I did a book signing at a 4-H tack sale fundraiser and several women who had children walked by and said, "Oh, my gosh! I read your books growing up, and I loved them?" One gal said she'd read Willow King 40 times." Then she burst into tears. Boy, what a humbling experience for me. Writing is kind of a solitary endeavor where you lock yourself in a room and write. It's always heartwarming to hear how you have an influence on someone's life. Thank you, Kathryn, I'm honored to have you read my book. Chris :-)
