Congrats, Pauline!

This is my first visit to your blog, but I just wanted to say congratulations! How amazing. The fact that you were able to do this s truly inspiring. Enjoy every minute of it!!

I've been reading your blog for well over a year now, and when I found out that my son's first grade class was assigned Poland to be their country in the school's Christmas around the world celebration, I knew I needed to buy this book. The teacher asked for parents to send in artifacts from Poland that might help the children learn about Christmas traditions in that country. I decided that the bottle of vodka my husband brought back from a business trip to Krakow this past fall was probably not the best choice to send in for a first grade class. Nor would the Polish "football" jerseys he had purchased for our two sons help explain Christmas traditions in Poland. And while we did send in a wooden platter emblazoned with Polska and a beautiful bird on it, that too, was not a good representation of a Polish Christmas. Needless to say, the teacher was thrilled that we sent in your book, Wigilia (which arrived just in time for the party and to my pleasant surprise, was signed by you!) The teacher read it to every class that visited "Poland" that day and while she couldn't pronounce many of the Polish words (oh, we SO wished for phonetic spellings of those words to be found in the back of the book!), at least I had given her the phonetic spelling for Wigilia. My husband is 50% second generation Polish American and aside from a few recipes, has very little knowledge of his Polish heritage. We will treasure this book for many Chritmases, and Wigilias, to come, I am sure. THANKS!!
