Great story. I used to draw Snoopy when I was a kid. Never thought of writing to Charles Schulz.
I like Willem's thoughts about failure and how no one wants to expose children to failure. I think that I've always known that aspect of growing up but never could find the clarity to express it. I think that failure is very important to learning, and I like that Willem is not afraid to show failure to kids.
