Emerson really enjoyed writing letters. She liked everything about letters, and sent them to friends and family all over the world. One day, she decided to write a letter to her postman, Doug, thanking him and telling him how important he is. Soon, letters started arriving for Emerson from all over - Doug had shared his letter with other mail carriers and they were writing Emerson back!

Based on the real-life experience of the author, this is a cute story about all the people who are helpers, not only letter carriers, but farmers, grocers, nurses and lots of others. This would be a nice kick off to a letter writing unit, or when talking about helpers.
