As if this weren't enough to make me happy, the teachers were also asked to have pictures taken of them reading LAWKI this summer, and I was given the honor (well, I think I demanded the honor) of judging the photographs.
I was sent a CD with scores of photographs. Oddly enough, I loved them all. I took the CD to Target and printed up about a dozen of them and put them in frames, so I can look at them whenever I feel like it (which seems to be all the time).
I asked for permission to put some of the pictures on my blog. So with many thanks to the staff at Boone, here are some fabulous teachers reading LAWKI!

Aha, I love the golf one! In fact, I love them all. That's such an honor. I'm so excited for you. I wish I could have attended that school!
Hello sarah-
I love all the pictures and I really appreciate the time and energy the teachers at Boone spent on this.
LAWKI got to go to a lot of interesting places this summer, which is more than I can say about myself!
i want to know how the cooking one worked, the one with the lady with 4 arms.
Makes me want to move to Orlando.
The photographs are wonderful. Encore! (My favorite is the reading rider with the absolutely beautiful horse).

Hi jmaster1324 and W. Slezak-
I'd like to know how the four armed photograph works also. I admit it would be handy to have four arms sometimes.
All the wonderful photographs did leave me with a very favorable impression of Orlando!
What an honor. How interesting for you to have written a book that has become such a phenomenon. I would enjoy being part of discussions at that school.
Hi Wendy-
It is an honor and it's been absolutely wonderful seeing all the special things that have happened to LAWKI and me over the past few years.
Life as I know it has really been extraordinary!
Love the pictures, although I have to admit I'd have preffered the dead and the gone.
One a completely unrelated note, I see five arms.
Hi Chris-
I'm relieved to report I only see four arms.
And I'm glad you prefer The Dead And The Gone. I love both those books equally (actually I love all 75 of my books equally, just like my mother loves both her children equally, although my mother probably finds it easier to name both her children than I do to name all 75 books!).
I just graduated from Boone last spring. I'm so jealous that they get to read this book for school! :)
Hello Pam M.-
Maybe it was your influence that got Boone to pick LAWKI.
And if it was, could I send you to every school in the country? I love knowing people are reading my books, and I especially love photographic evidence!
Great pictures!
The four arm pic really stands out from the bunch. It does a great job conveying the busy life of a mother.
Hi Anonymous-
I love all the pictures I was sent, but the four armed woman is definitely one of my favorites!
