Amazing Author Achievement
Readings Kid bookseller Dani Solomon was asked in an
interview with Bookseller & Publisher: What has been your biggest
achievement or proudest moment as a bookseller?
Her reply was: My proudest
moment happened when I was talking to semi-regular customer about a book for
her daughter but kept getting distracted because her son had seen the
new A L Tait book was out and was so excited he was running around
shouting and hugging it. His enthusiasm and happiness were so contagious I had
to stop talking and laugh. His mum noticed and said to me, ‘You did that. It
has always been a struggle to get him to read books, but you found the right
book for him and look at him’. I teared up a bit to be honest. I try to
recreate that moment every day.’
What an amazing thing for an author to hear about the
effect of her book on a young reader!
