I wanted to really let them sink in and give them the time for observation that they deserve. I went to where I thought I'd placed the book and it wasn't there. After a good half hour of looking for the book, I was at a loss and thought I would have to do it at another time. Awhile later I wandered into my eight year old daughter's room, looking for my Ipod (it always finds its way in there). There, sitting next to her bed was the copy of "I never wanted to be famous". To my mind, this is the highest form of praise; one child, looking into the eyes of another struggling child. Later, when I asked her about it, she said that she wanted to take time to really look over the book and understand what the other kids were going through. Congratulations, Steve, you've touched Mo and I deeply. Parker On 4/27/08, Jayanand Govindaraj <jayanand@gmail.com> wrote: > > I received a signed copy of Steve Barbour's book last week.
