I have nothing but respect for authors of childrenās and YA books. Takes a special kind of genius. And yes, they must love children very much.
Since kids donāt usually write maybe you can , as magpie suggests, and drop the publisher a line.

Iād love to have a channel to Dav Pilkey. Iām sure heās doing fantastic and doesnāt need any sort of reinforcement. My kids are sitting on the couch re-reading Dog Man books, and giggling their heads off.
The neat thing about Dog Man is it is full of puns and pop culture references. When they first read them, they get a tiny fraction of those. My oldest is now 13 and has picked up on loads of word play and cultural references that heās never understood previously. Heās probably older than the target demographic, but is loving them all the same.
Iām sure seeing his work bring all this joy to a couple of kids on the other side of the planet would make him beam with happiness. At least it would for me, even if I were a multi millionaire.
