In late October we received the following message on our website: I am very pleased to let you know that Peter has been selected as one of Healthy NewsWorks' health leaders for our fifth student-written and -illustrated book, Leading Healthy Change In Our Communities, which will be published next spring. We would like to schedule a time when our student reporters can interview him about his book and other efforts to help children.

Today we traveled to the Gotwals Elementary School in Norristown PA, we met Mrs Katie Ogoussan, a third grade teacher and her delightful student reporters.  The children had spent much time preparing questions about Peter's journey with cancer, his foundation and his future plans and dreams.

Marian Uhlman, Director of Healthy NewsWorks was present for the interview and we learned that Peter is the youngest "change maker" to be chosen for inclusion in the book.  It will be published in the spring and their will be a book signing that will include the health leaders and the student journalists.

This Mighty Girl had good questions that led to classroom discussion!
We're looking forward to reading the finished story and, perhaps, visiting this classroom again someday to talk further.
