A Reader Writes …

We get a lot of different kind of e-mail response to our book: some friendly, some antagonistic, some curious, etc etc etc. This one, which came the other day, may be one of my all-time favorites:

Hello. I am Rohan Patel, I am 10 years old. Your book was amazing! I loved it, but I found one mistake in it. In the chapter “What Makes A Perfect Parent?” it says that changing schools does not have an impact on the child. This is untrue, as i moved from Canada to India. In India the school system is much harder, when I came here I was way behind. I am emailing my friends and they are behind me, what they learn is very different from what I learn. So changing schools makes a huge impact on the child, I myself am an example of this.

sincerely,
rohan

    Hi,

    I enjoyed your book a lot. I also ran into another exciting book, China’s global reach: markets, multinationals, and globalization by a Chinese thinker george zhibin gu. It is really powerful. I recommend it to you both.
