This week a special shoutout goes out to Mrs. Jessica Sawin, who read The Eyes and the Impossible with her 4th grade class all the way back in 2024. As you can see, these 4th graders at Angell School in Ann Arbor not only have amazing penmanship, but great, thought-provoking questions about the book as well!

A special thank you to Zahra, Caleb, Silas, Kevin, Keegan, Zeynep, Sinead, Owen, Alex, Hunter, Elyanna, Edith, Henry, Gabe, Divyansh, Violette, Vivian, Marion and Oliver for their wonderful letters and kind words– each one was thoroughly read and wildly appreciated. —Tallula

To send something to Dave Eggers like the wonderful examples above, mail a letter or a drawing with your thoughts on the book to 849 Valencia Street, San Francisco, CA 94110. Then wait eagerly for a letter back from him!
