Ronny’s Book
Ronny looked like every other kid in the first-grade classroom where I volunteered as the Reading Mom. However, Ronny was different from his classmates in other ways. He had a speech problem so he couldn’t like other kids in his grade.
I worked with all the students in Ronny’s class one by one to improve their reading skills. On the days when it was Ronny’s , I’d give him a silent smile, and he’d fly out of his chair. He sat very close to me and opened the book he was opening a treasure nobody had ever seen.
I watched his fingers move slowly under each letter as he struggled (努力) to read out. Every time he to read a word with a strange pronunciation, the biggest smile would spread across his face and his eyes would shine with . It broke my heart each and every time.
A few weeks the school year ended, I held an awards ceremony (颁奖典礼). I Ronny with a book — one of those Little Golden Books that only cost $5. Tears (眼泪）ran down his face as he held the book close to him and went to his seat. I stayed with the class for the rest of the day. Ronny never let go of (放开) the , not once. It never left his hands.
A few days later, I returned to the school to visit. I Ronny on a chair near the playground, the book open in his lap. His teacher said, “ He hasn’t put that book down since you gave it to him. Do you know that’s his book he’s ever actually owned?”
Keeping back my tears, I walked towards Ronny, placed my hand on his shoulder and asked, “Will you read me your book, Ronny?” And then, for the next few minutes, he read to me more than I’d ever thought possible from him. The pages were already dog-eared (卷角的), like the book had been read thousands of already. When he finished reading, Ronny closed his book and said with great satisfaction, “ book!"
What a powerful contribution the writer of that Little Golden Book had made in the life of a disadvantaged child. At that moment, I knew I would get about my own writing and do what that writer had done, and probably still does — care enough to write a story that changes a child’s life, care enough to make a difference.

Isabel Allende’s novels are enjoyed all over the world. She is famous for her creativity and imagination. And her own personal story is as amazing as any she has ever told in a novel. Born in 1942, Allende’s family moved often during her childhood. She went to school in South America, Europe, and Asia. As a young woman, she became a journalist in Santiago, Chile’s capital city. Then, she got married and had two children. In 1970, everything began to change.
