Dear Tom,
This looks just like you! 🙂 How nice to have a job that you enjoy so much!
See you at the History Center tonight,
Ellen Pinsky (the History Center volunteer who helped write your bio)
Dear Mr. Lichtenheld: We are in 2nd grade and our teacher has been reading Wumbers 2 our class. We love it! It really makes us think! We have a question 4 you: When we were looking on the cover of the book 4 the author and illustrator, we 1dered why you did not put a 10 in your name…Lich10held? We hope you will tell us b4 to long…Nicole and Jasmine
Nicole and Jasmine,
Thank you for contacting me. You guys are 1derful Wumbers cr8ors!
To answer your question, we considered using 10 in my name, but it would have been a technical problem with the publishing world. For instance, the automatic library cataloging systems wouldn’t recognize my name. Also, we couldn’t think of a Wumber for Amy’s name and it didn’t seem right that only one of us would get a Wumber in our name (Amy and I are all about fairness!) By the way, there’s a tumbler site about Wumbers, you can see it at http://wumbers.tumblr.com/
Thanks again for enjoying our book!
Clever self-portrait, and also enjoyed your response to the above inquiry. 🙂
