It’s All Well Worth It

June 7, 2008

I guess the author James Martin II couldn’t have imagined a better response from the children who read his book William Is going Green. He received the below letter from Sharon Weisman (Account Executive for License! Global Magazine) to say thanks for a job well done.

The letter:

I wanted to tell you a personal story of mine regarding the great thing you are doing for our kids and the earth they live in:

I have a nephew, his name is Ittai and he is 4 years old.
For over a year now he’s been sleeping with the light on in his room (because there are monsters in his closet of course!).
Nothing helped. We couldn’t persuade him that he’s old enough to sleep in the dark and that there was nothing there. Even when we used to shut the light after he fell asleep, he used to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and turn it back on while walking back to bed.

I gave him your book. I knew he’d love it because he’s all about trucks! Yesterday morning, he ran to his dads bed and with pride declared:
“Dad, I slept with the light off all night!”
When he was asked how he overcame his fear he said: “William the truck said it will save light”. I think that’s amazing. Thank you so much! It’s a wonderful thing you and your son are doing!
Good luck.
Kind regards,

“When I hear from people and get these types of responses, all the work makes it well worth it” says James II. I’m excited everytime I hear that the children take things from ‘William” and use it in their everyday lives”.
