  1. Hello,

    I am the son of Bette Bao Lord. I came across this blog and wanted to say hello. Earlier today, I spoke to the 5th grade class at Georgetown Day School in Washington, DC about In the Year of the Boar.

    Have fun reading the book. It’s my favorite of all time but, of course, I’m a little biased.

    Sincerely,
    Winston Bao Lord
