Comment from Teachers

Every now and again in the life of a teacher and headmistress something delightful pops up and this endearing compilation of Catherineˈs work is most certainly that！I have had the pleasure of knowing Catherineˈs parents before they were even married and Catherine a little piece of heaven who came down to join them．Please enjoy Catherineˈs wideeyed and acute observations of the world around her and how it affects her and makes her think．I much look forward to watching Catherine grow in the next few years．I thank her for her affection and presence over the years and I exhort every child out there to find that special inner presence as Catherine has done．

Catherine has been my student at the International Montessori School for the past year．She is very artistic and creative．Very early on，when getting to know Catherine，I realized that she was an extremely talented writer，writing at a level that is far beyond her years．She writes with passion and enthusiasm and clearly knows how to engage the audience．It has been a pure pleasure working with Catherine this year．I am positive that she has an

extremely successful career ahead of her with such writing talents at this young age．

北京蒙台梭利国际学校的双语课程，为马泽雯的中英文学习打下了良好的基础。学校坚信阅读是一切学习的基础，我们的学生在很小的时候就开始了中英文阅读。

马泽雯是个格外喜欢读书的孩子，她利用点滴时间阅读了大量的中英文读物，这不仅仅开阔了她的视野，也使她的词汇量、理解力、表达能力、以及想象力在不知不觉中得以发展和提高。

写作对大多数人来说都不是一件容易的事，但对马泽雯来说却是一件快乐大于痛苦的事，因为写作可以让她放飞想象力，可以帮助她更好地成长。

我们都知道罗马不是一日建成的。今天，马泽雯所取得的成绩也是得益于过去数年的积累和沉淀，我希望她能一如既往地坚持阅读和练笔，坚持记录自己成长路上的点点滴滴。

雯雯，祝贺你！

Is there anything brighter，more innocent，and more honest than the mind of a child？

A child's imagination is limitless．Here there are thoughts，ideas and feelings that can take you to places you can only dream about．

In the pages of this book you will read the thoughts of a little girl，Catherine．Here you will enter a world of magic and wonder．You will visit fantastic places and meet people and creatures like you've never seen．Catherine's mind is filled with ideas，filled with magic，and she has the gift being able to bring these ideas to life with her words．

Welcome to the wonderful mind of a wonderful child！
