Dear Editor,

I attended an event hosted by the Thoreau Farm Trust on Sunday, October 22 at the Thoreau birthplace on Virginia Road along with my two children, ages 3 and 5. The event featured children’s author and illustrator, D.B. Johnson. We received our first D.B. Johnson book, Henry Hikes to Fitchburg, about 2 years ago and subsequently purchased his other 3 books soon thereafter. We have enjoyed his stories on a regular basis for some time now. I just want to thank all who were involved in hosting this event. It was absolutely wonderful! We followed up our time at Thoreau Farm with a visit to Walden Pond. It was one of the best day’s I’ve ever spent with my children! My thanks to the Thoreau Farm Trust for providing a quality, family event.

Sincerely,
Kerry
