He either identified with the characters, felt an adrenaline rush in reading the stories, empathized with the characters and story, or was inspired by whatever he read, whether it be fiction or non-fiction.

I have a blog in Chinese, recommending children's literature to Chinese families. My friend's daughter is in second grade in China.

So the Paterson story, even told in your words, was very relevant. I've posted it on my Facebook page and will mention it in my e-bulletin, too. Thanks very much Sharon!
