Dear DJ, I have lots of favorites. One is The Polar Bear Express! Gisela, do you also speak and read English? Ana, meat comes from animals. Carmen, I agree that age is just a number.
Laura, for me the best place on earth is home. Amanda, hail can be scary! Yikes! Paula, lots of people are afraid of this new virus. The best thing to do is to wash your hands longer than usual and avoid touching your face. Madelyn, congrats on your project! Debbie, my favorite cheese is cheddar.
Allijah, you might like to check out my writing page. I think the best thing is to brainstorm (or consider lots of different ideas) for what could happen next in your story. Then pick the idea that you like best. I like your title and that you are planning ahead!
Monika, 康提 and Andrea-hi! Tereza, me too! Natasha, I have been to Split, Croatia. Do you read my books in English? Kristina, I think that game isn't too bad as long as you do safe things! Sementa and 乔贝尔, I do like to sing (I sing in my church choir). Sementa, good luck with you lessons. Gisela, I bet your hair is pretty. Mar, do you have a favorite game? 康提, I am curious. Which book of mine did you like? Did you read it in English or Chinese? Have a super awesome week and thanks so much for writing to me, Debbie

Dear Anais, Pink is nice, but blue is my favorite. Snow Day Veronique, I have been to Canada three different times. There are many beautiful places there. VerНадежда, thank you for the compliment. Becena, red hair is awesome. Wilemijn, how many languages do you speak? Frances, I Ready, Set, Goal like Disney too. In fact, I wrote a book series for Disney Hyperion called Barkley's School for Dogs with my friend Marcia. Kate, that's cool. Taryn, as long as you are happy with your voice that's what's important. Unfortunately, there always seems to be unkind people. Amanda, I totally think it would be fun to have a Mermaid Tales movie! Have a great week. I live in Tennessee, but not where the tornadoes hit. I pray for everyone's safety. Best, Debbie

Dear Blair, Thanks for knowing about Frankenstein Doesn't Plant Petunias the unicorn of the sea (like the narwhal in The Narwhal Problem). DJ, the Bailey School Kids books are about a group of four kids trying to save their school from very unusual grown-ups, who might just be monsters! Rosie, I'm glad you won't do that again. Amanda, that is untrue. Madelyn, I have a lot to learn about giraffes, but they sound very interesting. It's a good thing they only need to drink every couple of days. Happy Dr. Seuss' birthday and Read Across America Day, Debbie

Dear Mary, One of my favorite books for this time of year is definitely Leprechauns Don't Play Basketball. Do you have a favorite? Haley, I get ideas from everywhere, even the newspaper! Nadia, I try for about 42 manuscript pages. Apriliana, I think my funniest chapter is in Ghouls Don't Scoop Ice Cream. Lis, did you know there is a Bailey School Kids joke book? Mikha, I do not like to gossip. Liyana, some people would say that Pearl is my meanest character, but I think she is just misunderstood because I don't think kids are mean. Amylea, my favorite color is blue. Marsha, I would love to be able to speak another language beside English. It's cool that you can! Have a super great weekend, Debbie

Dear Angie, I haven't seen Frozen 2 yet. I loved the first Debbie and son Nathan on a camel in Egypt one though. Hannah and Chloe, I have lots of favorite books of mine! One is The Polar Bear Express. Do you have a favorite of mine?
Selah, thanks from the kind words from Egypt. I was lucky enough to do an author visit at the Cairo American College years ago. The lovely people there took me (and my son) to the Pyramids of Giza and the Step Pyramids. It was an amazing experience.
Hola Amanda. I know that means hi! I know that bano means bathroom.
Hallie, I like to learn new things when I write stories. Right now, I'm learning that there is bacteria that eats sunken ships! Christopher and Ahyma, there are many things I enjoy about being an author. Being able to to work at home is pretty great, but creating new worlds is the best! See some of you soon! Best, Debbie
