Mish receives a special book!

Dear Howard,

Mish loves the book you sent and is very grateful.  Mish lives in Chajalajya, a small rural village in the Guatemalan Highlands and his parents are not able to afford books for their children. 

Mish is happy because “Gato con Botas” (Puss in Boots) is the story of a cat, and his parents call him Mish (a Guatemalan word for cat) because he cuddles next to the wood stove to keep warm when its cold outside.  Mish very much enjoys the pictures. His older brother reads to him, since he is five years old and cannot read yet.

Thank you so much Howard for your kind gift. Mish is extremely appreciative of this gift!
