This is my newly-discovered, Australian cousin who has my same name.

A month ago I received her delightful e-mail that said:
 
Hi my name is Anna Egan.
I am five.
I love your books.
I have just read  golden  Delicious.
thank you for writing such a great book.
I am in Australia.
I had to order this book because I was interested after google searching my name!
I found that I share my name with you.
My local library did not have your books so my mum helped me to order it through my favourite book shop.
I love reading books!
 
 
Just like me, Anna loves to read and write.  She is in first grade and is the youngest member of a writer's circle that meets after school.  The young writers sit and listen to all the students' writing and then they have afternoon tea with their teacher.  
 
Anna and I hope that someday we will get to meet each other.  Wouldn't that be wonderful!
 
Here is a lovely poem Anna wrote that was published in her WRITERS' CIRCLE MAGAZINE Edition 43.

Moon

By Anna Egan 1st Grade

Moon, you look so beautiful tonight.

So bright and shiny.

Do the stars put stardust on your cheek?

Moon, you look so tired tonight.

Go to sleep and have a rest

with a nice fluffy cloud blanket.

Every night I look at you from my window

And

Every night you look different.

Moon, you look so happy tonight.

So smiley and chatty.

Is it because you have your twinkle friend staying next to you

tonight?

Moon,

Thank you for giving me a light through the night and showing me

so many different faces every night.

Good night moon.  Sweet dreams my friend.

Hope to see you tomorrow night.
