You did the right thing.  Contacting the parent first
is another way to release children's books via mail.

Another release option: I leave a lot of books at a
local coffee shop where people tend to bring their
children.  That way, the parent is the one most likely
to pick up the book.  If the child picks it up, the
parent is there to decide if it is a book to take
home.
