Welcome to the Guestbook!
I’m always eager to read your comments about my books and stories, so please feel free to pitch in. Here are a few things for you to know:
1) I answer the messages here personally.
2) No message shows up here until I actually answer it to prevent spam and other inappropriate postings. So there will sometimes be a delay before your message posts, especially if I am traveling.
3) Teachers, a gentle request: Please do not have multiple children send me variants of the same message. A group email is much easier to respond to and not such a drain on my time. My thanks in advance for being alert to this.

Hi Mr. Coville, I remember spending the majority of third grade reading your books. I just wanted to tell you that even now, as I am about to graduate high school, I still keep the song of the wanderer close to my heart. That song just speaks to me so much. For my last AP Art project, I get to paint a chair that is supposed to represent me. It will stay in the classroom for years to come to inspire other students. I am painting all of the places I want to visit on my chair: Dublin, Venice, Jaipur, Ladakh, Kyoto, etc. On the bottom of my chair is a picture of a country road going out into the distance. I also want to put your song in that picture so your words can influence others. Once again, thank you for inspiring kids to dream and imagine the impossible.

Hi, Kaitlyn -
Many, many thanks for this. I poured my heart and soul into the Unicorn Chronicles (and nearly broke my brain trying to write the conclusion). So knowing that this book has meant so much to you really touches me. That song, that need to wander, comes from my own restless heart. To my own astonishment, writing has taken me around the world in ways I had never anticipated. I hope that your own life will be filled with journeys of wonder and discovery.
I love the chair project - it's a wonderful idea. And I love knowing that SONG will be part of it. Thanks for telling me.
