 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE—Even the most polite children cringe at the thought of writing thank you notes. Saying thanks the old-fashioned way can seem awfully silly to today's technologically savvy youth. But eighteen-year-old dynamo Ali Spizman disagrees and has written a book for kids to prove that saying thanks can be fun and rewarding.

 Written with infectious enthusiasm,The Thank You Book for Kids: Hundreds of Creative, Cool and Clever Ways to Say Thank You!, (www.activeparenting.com, March, 2001) contains dozens of creative suggestions for writing memorable thank-you notes. There are chapters that offer tips on how to thank friends, family, and community leaders. Other chapters focus on thank-you poems, suggestions for edible thank-you’s, and ideas on how to spread the spirit of saying thanks to others. There's even a chapter on how to write letters to famous people, which includes some wonderful responses Ali received from such celebrities as Disney's CEO Michael Eisner, Wally "Famous" Amos, Goosebumps author R. L. Stine, Hillary Rodham Clinton, actor Dennis Haskins from Saved By The Bell, Apollo 17 astronaut Eugene A. Cernan and many other well known individuals.

 Ali shows how easy it is to turn a thank you from a chore into an activity even the “coolest” kids can enjoy. Her book will inspire both young children and teenagers alike to take the time to say thank you.
