Written Response to "My Name Is Maria Isabel"

The letter says: "Dear Ms. Alma Flor Ada, My name is Michael and I am 9 years old. I also read your book 'My Name is Maria Isabel.' I liked that story because a girl was trying to say to her teacher that she does not like being called Marry Lopez. When did you start writing books? Do you like writing books for children? How long have you been writing books? Why did you want to write this story? How old are you? What can help me be a better writer because I kind of have a problem writing stories and it is hard for me."
