“My name is Gabrielle and I am a very long time fan of your book, Hurt Go Happy. I first got it at a Scholastic Book Fair when I was in fourth grade. I am almost 30 now and I just wanted to tell you how much that book changed my life. I truly believe it made me more compassionate and empathetic. I now teach high school special education and often use sign language not only with my students, but with my one year old daughter as well! Wishing you all the best!
Thank you for my favorite book of all time,”
Gabrielle Caleca-Pontrelli
