Meli has been hard at work answering letters! Read her responses to letters from a group of second graders from Northview Primary School in Findlay, OH.
Q: I am in second grade, my name is Ashlee. I am from Findlay, Ohio. I am wondering how the surgery went. I am hoping you still don't hurt. I am hoping you could be my friend. I read Meli Goes to Surgery Rehab and they were really good. I am hoping for more Meli books. ~Ashlee
