Milana, Janaya, Khadiza, and Tyra-a big hello to you and I'm so glad you like my stories. Sarah, I just had a new book come out. It is called A Tale of Two Sisters.
     Lay plo, my grandmother was a kind lady. She always made my favorite chicken and dumplings when I visited on Sunday afternoons. She made all my clothes and even my Barbie clothes for me when I was little. But more important than all that-she took time to talk to me. As for my favorite Bailey School Kids book-that is hard to decide! One of my favorites for this time of year is Cupid Doesn't Flip Hamburgers. Areesha, Jack, and Lay plo, It would be fun to come to your school, ask your teacher or librarian to contact me here.
     Lauren, I definitely think if you are going to write about an animal you should study it. For the book I just finished, I studied about eels and sculpting. I do think wolves are cool, but I love dogs and they are related. Abrish, I hope you have a great winter too! Have you had a lot of snow this year where you live? So far, where I live in Pennsylvania in the US we haven't had a ton of snow this winter, but we're supposed to get another storm on Monday.
     Emma-Lee, your writing is very funny! I think chapters should be as long as needed. Most of mine are around three pages. If you like kitties, then you should definitely write a story about them. I think three main characters are usually plenty. Hailey, I'm so glad you are enjoying Dragons Don't Throw Snowballs. I like snow too-as long as we don't get too much at once. Here are some other snowy-day books you might like.
     Jack, I think your name is cool. I hope you don't mind that I took out your school's name for your Internet protection. Please tell your teacher I said hello! Have a great weekend, Debbie

Hi Lauren, five pages is probably fine for your chapters. A Tale of Two Sisters is about two sisters, Echo and Crystal. Echo is very excited when she finds something human, but Crystal claims she found it first. It starts a sister war!
Jesse and Declan, I'm so glad you both enjoy the Adventures of the Bailey School Kids books. Have you seen the super and holiday specials? Also, did you know there are some spin-offs of the series (Bailey City Monsters and Bailey School Kids Junior Chapter books)? Hope you have a fabulous weekend, Debbie

Dear Jack, I'm so glad you like Santa Claus Doesn't Mop Floors. It would be fun to come to Canada. Your school can find out about me visiting by looking at my scheduling page. On Tuesday, I Skyped with a class from Mexico. Maybe I could Skype with your class if I can't visit.
   Hi Janaya, so glad you enjoy my stories. MayMay, hope you like reading my new book, A Tale of Two Sisters. Do you have a sister? I always wanted one. Lay plo, the Bailey School Kids series was named after my grandmother, Lillie Bailey. She was a very special lady. I have 162 stories that I have sold to be made into books. Marcia T. Jones and I met when we taught at the same school.
   Hailey, I'm so glad you like Vampires Don't Wear Polka Dots. It was my very first book!    Thank you Farien for being my #1 fan! Jaidyn, I'm sorry you don't like my books. Have you read one?
     Areesha, so happy that you like my books. Do you have a favorite? Abrish and Zuwair, I am delighted you liked Dragons Don't Throw Snowballs. Dragons are very fun to write about! Here are some other winter books I hope you'll like. Have a great week and best wishes, Debbie Dadey

Dear Addy, whales are awesome and you are right, they are the world's biggest animals. You can learn more about them in A Whale of a Tale. Lauren, I usually like Mermaid Tales chapters to be about three pages long, but you can make yours as long as you want.
Kayla, I hope you enjoy Miss Jeepers is Missing. It was the first Bailey School Kids Super Special. Tobe, congratulations on your new baby sister. I always wanted a sister. Maybe that's why I wrote A Tale of Two Sisters. It is brand new TODAY!! It is snowing where I live. I wonder if I'll get snowed in, like in Dragons Don't Throw Snowballs. God bless, Debbie

Hi Zoe, I'm so glad you enjoyed Cupid Doesn't Flip Hamburgers. Marcia Jones and I thought it would be fun to make cupid into a woman, but when we wrote Cupid Does Eat Chocolate Covered Snails we made our cupid a man.
Lauren, your mother is right. You are an awesome writer for a third grader! You had funny and scary!
Isabell, I am flattered and honored that you choose me for a biography. You can find out lots about me on my book report page. I love to read, so I think that's why I wanted to write. My first book came out in 1990. The idea for the first Bailey School Kids came from a bad day. Have you ever had a bad day? Hope not today! God bless, Debbie
