Following the blog on story mapping, a mother sent me a map her daughter had drawn: it was to be a treasure map, but also became Nim's island.
One of the nicest things about being sent things like this is that it reminds me of exactly who I'm writing for: kids who can still throw themselves whole-heartedly into the game of make-believe that is part of reading. There's nothing better than the proof that someone has taken your story on board so completely that it becomes their own.
(And notice the 'aged' paper. Isn't that wonderful!)

Thank you for putting my map up. I liked the picture that you sent to me.
And thank you for sending it to me. I'm very glad to hear you liked the picture of Selkie and me too!
