Comment from Teachers

Every now and again in the life of a teacher and headmistress something delightful pops up and this endearing compilation of Catherine?s work is most certainly that！I have had the pleasure of knowing Catherine?s parents before they were even married and Catherine a little piece of heaven who came down to join them．Please enjoy Catherine?s wideeyed and acute observations of the world around her and how it affects her and makes her think．I much look forward to watching Catherine grow in the next few years．I thank her for her affection and presence over the years and I exhort every child out there to find that special inner presence as Catherine has done．

Catherine has been my student at the International Montessori School for the past year．She is very artistic and creative．Very early on，when getting to know Catherine，I realized that she was an extremely talented writer，writing at a level that is far beyond her years．She writes with passion and enthusiasm and clearly knows how to engage the audience．It has been a pure pleasure working with Catherine this year．I am positive that she has an

extremely successful career ahead of her with such writing talents at this young age．

北京蒙臺(tái)梭利國(guó)際學(xué)校的雙語(yǔ)課程，為馬澤雯的中英文學(xué)習(xí)打下了良好的基礎(chǔ)。學(xué)校堅(jiān)信閱讀是一切學(xué)習(xí)的基礎(chǔ)，我們的學(xué)生在很小的時(shí)候就開始了中英文閱讀。

馬澤雯是個(gè)格外喜歡讀書的孩子，她利用點(diǎn)滴時(shí)間閱讀了大量的中英文讀物，這不僅僅開闊了她的視野，也使她的詞匯量、理解力、表達(dá)能力、以及想象力在不知不覺(jué)中得以發(fā)展和提高。

寫作對(duì)大多數(shù)人來(lái)說(shuō)都不是一件容易的事，但對(duì)馬澤雯來(lái)說(shuō)卻是一件快樂(lè)大于痛苦的事，因?yàn)閷懽骺梢宰屗棚w想象力，可以幫助她更好地成長(zhǎng)。

我們都知道羅馬不是一日建成的。今天，馬澤雯所取得的成績(jī)也是得益于過(guò)去數(shù)年的積累和沉淀，我希望她能一如既往地堅(jiān)持閱讀和練筆，堅(jiān)持記錄自己成長(zhǎng)路上的點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴。

雯雯，祝賀你！

Is there anything brighter，more innocent，and more honest than the mind of a child？

A child's imagination is limitless．Here there are thoughts，ideas and feelings that can take you to places you can only dream about．

In the pages of this book you will read the thoughts of a little girl，Catherine．Here you will enter a world of magic and wonder．You will visit fantastic places and meet people and creatures like you've never seen．Catherine's mind is filled with ideas，filled with magic，and she has the gift being able to bring these ideas to life with her words．

Welcome to the wonderful mind of a wonderful child！
