Dear Dr. Seuss,
I will begin by saying happy birthday. I loved all of your books when I was little and honestly, I still do. Everything that you write has a strange ability to get stuck in my head so that even the way I talk somewhat resembles your writing. How does that happen? How can you create such a balanced rhythm, that people can’t go on without? That must not be easy. But I’m sure that it has started to come naturally to you. And all of your creatures and words! Your imagination is limitless of course but what I find incredible is how easily you can access the ideas and put them onto paper. And I haven’t even started talking about your artistic skills. You have your own creative style that is easily recognizable. You have no idea how many times I have tried to develop my own drawing style but apparently it doesn’t happen all at once. Anyways, you are such an inspiration to me and I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday. Here is one of my favorite quotes from your book Happy Birthday To You:
“If we didn’t have birthdays, you wouldn’t be you.
If you’d never been born, well then what would you do?
If you’d never been born, well then what would you be?
You might be a fish! Or a toad in a tree!
You might be a doorknob! Or three baked potatoes!
You might be a bag full of hard green tomatoes.
Or worse than all that… why you might be a WASN’T!
A Wasn’t has no fun at all. No, he doesn’t.
A Wasn’t just isn’t. He just isn’t present.
But you… You ARE YOU! And, now isn’t that pleasant!”
-Dr. Seuss “Happy Birthday To You!”
I loved how you put this into a letter to Dr Seuss.
