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.
