This is a friend’s account of a conversation between her 10-year-old daughter and Christianne of Christianne’s Lyceum.

Daughter: There’s a mom at my school who’s a writer. You should invite her.

Christianne: What’s her name?

Daughter: I don’t know, but she’s my best friend’s sister’s best friend’s mom and she’s really good.

As it turns out, I’ve spoken at Christianne’s (amazing) book clubs a few times. And I’m hiring the daughter as my new Director of Marketing… just as soon as she learns my name.
