Thanks for a fun, positive story about a young author

A recent front-page story was very encouraging and uplifting to read (“Edmonds 7-year-old publishes children’s book featuring ‘Drippey’ the bee,” The Herald, March 29).

Being a retired para-educator this really touched a fellow 7-year-old author.

Please post stories like this on the front page when you can. So fan and positive.

Children are the future. Thank you, again. Keep up the good stories.
