HP Related Letter from my One Book at a Time Recipient

mrsvedo · February 2014

You guys.

I just got the BEST letter from the boy I've been sending books to as part of One Book at a Time. I've been STRUGGLING to figure out what to send a 6th grade boy who likes football and computers. He liked my previous selections ok, but I knew I could do better.

I took a chance this month and sent him the first Harry Potter. I didn't know if he'd have read them before or already own a set, but decided to send it anyway.

And I just got this letter from him:

If you can't read the PIP it says,

"Thank you so much for the book. I can't wait to start reading it. I saw the movies, but Ms. Dora says the book is always better. I don't have any Harry Potter books this is my first. I can't wait to get into the Sorcerer's Stone. Ms Dora says reading makes you feel like you are there. I can't wait to be at Hogwarts. Thanks again."

That bolded line is just completely slaying me right now.

Like legit teared up.

@shepherdjel & @booknerd226 Here's the link to One Book at a Time. You basically get matched up with a kid in a low income area and send them a book a month for a year. There was a post on here a few months ago by someone (maybe @jackiback?) telling us about the program and I signed up then. I got paired up with my recipient in November.
