Wonderland Books Thank You
Dear Mary and the entire WNBA—
A very belated, but heartfelt thank you for naming us the 2007 Pannell Award Winners.
You truly have no idea how much this award means to both myself and my staff. You like us! You really like us!
What a thrill it was to receive the phone call that we had won the "Oscar" of children's bookselling. I still get goose bumps when I think of it. This award will inspire us to continue doing even more in our quest to connect books with all children.
Belle's artwork is displayed proudly on the front wall where we can all gaze adoringly at it--it's an especially lovely sight on difficult days!
Again, a million thank yous for honoring us.
Best--
Erin Taylor
