Nothing Says Love Like an Old-Fashioned Letter A long, long time ago, before email and texting, the mail was delivered in a much slower way-it was called Snail Mail (because some thought it was delivered by a snail). Although it took much longer, everyone agreed that letters were a little more special when they were delivered by Snail Mail. They might be handwritten. They might include a drawing. They might even contain a surprise inside! One such letter was sent by a Girl to the Boy she loved, and it was up to four special snails to deliver her card across the country. The snails trek across the country-through desert heat and dangerous blizzards, across mountains and plains, through cities and forests-and along the way, they find that taking time to slow down and look around makes the journey all the more beautiful. Snail Mail's playful and educational story encourages kids to have slow living, and to approach life with determination and wonder. Julia Patton's rich illustrations showcase America's diverse terrain and national monuments from coast to coast. Kids and parents alike will delight in this celebration of America's beauty and the power of a simple handwritten letter.

@Cupcake12

Well, Kerry, look what came in the mail today? You wrote it on 2/4, mailed it on 2/5, and it got to Phoenix on 5/16! 🤩😂😀 #snailmailindeed Better late than never! Thanks, m'dear! 💙🩵💙

BkClubCare LOL! All of my letters mention postmark vs arrival-date. I think they save up 3 personal letters before delivery- Whenever I get a personal mail, I get 2-3 at once and never two days in a row. 7mo
dabbe @BkClubCare Very interesting! 😂 7mo

What a great mail surprise today! As with several pieces of mail I've got recently, this one appears to have taken the long route to get here, but it made it. Post mark says it's been over a month since travels began. Lol

Thank you so much for the bookmarks. #litsylove folks truly are the sweetest people around! @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @TheBookHippie

TheBookHippie Oy!!! I sent you a Christmas card did you get it? 😱 3y
CuriousG @TheBookHippie It hasn't arrived, but I'm sure it will. I received one card that took an accidental detour through the British Virgin Islands for some reason, and it still made it here eventually. Lol 3y

@Littlewolf1 @Johanna414 Please accept my apologies for being late mailing this first round for #lmpbc. I‘ve been really sick for the last two weeks and have not been able to make it to the post office. I won‘t make it tomorrow, but I am aiming for Thursday at the latest and will mail the books Priority so they reach you ASAP. Again, I‘m very sorry. 😔

kspenmoll I hope you are feeling stronger each day.💕 3y
Johanna414 @DGRachel no worries! Just send it when you are feeling up to it - I‘ll plan on reading it in the second half of the month 3y

It‘s been A WEEK, so imagine my great joy when I went to my mailbox and found a letter from the best pen pal ever. @Mitch your timing, as always, is impeccable. Thank you, my dear, sweet friend. Now, I‘m going to fix myself a nice, hot cup of tea, settle into the corner of my couch, and read my letter. 💖

kspenmoll 💕💕 3y
Soubhiville Ooo, that tea sounds nice. Enjoy! 3y
DGRachel @Soubhiville it‘s wonderful! It‘s a rooibos tea base with plums, cinnamon, and ginger, among other things. I use a little more tea leaves than the tin calls for, and ginger makes my mouth tingle. 😂 But it‘s super yummy. 3y
