Dear Dr. Laura, 

My 7-year-old son and I are sitting down to write you an email about his successful school day! At his public school, he is required to participate in a reading program where the children read a book at their level for three days of the week. They each pick a book, take it home and read it to their family. They are then asked to take a reading comprehension quiz on the book. I was so excited when my son came home with your children's book: "Growing Up Is Hard." We had such a good time reading this story and talking about you! 

I've listened to you since I was in my teens and now I'm doing my best to pass on the family values and lessons you offer every day. My son and I had the BEST time discussing the book. At 7 years old, he is experiencing the same things as your character Sammy.  My son took his test today and scored 100%! I was so proud of him. He was anxious to tell you and share his success. 

Thank you for all the work you put toward guiding and nurturing loving families! 

Meredith
