I am constantly bashing on about how children's authors have to engage with the internet, technology - with the default world that their readers are growing up with. A few days ago, I received this birthday greeting from my nephew in the Philippines - which absolutely made my day. Although it's made by his parents of course, this is a kid who doesn't see anything unusual in video-taping a message or chatting to me on webcam. He's cute, too.
Oh Gosh - that's the cutest little vid I've ever seen! I love his little Megabloks candle!
and his reaction at the end is so funny!
The thing with the megabloks in the end makes the whole video. so funny! it makes me so homesick though.
