Who answers the letters still written by children to Ezra Jack Keats?
Ezra decided that after he died the money made by his books (the royalties paid to him when people buy his books) should go to the foundation he had created, the Ezra Jack Keats Foundation. He wanted his Foundation to support arts and literacy programs for children in public schools and libraries. He also wanted his Foundation to take care of his books and answer the letters from all the children who would continue to write to him through the years. And so, Deborah Pope, the Executive Director of the EJK Foundation, and someone who grew up knowing Ezra, answers all the letters received by the Foundation.
