Victoria: Thank you for sharing this wonderful book! I recently started walking on the tightrope so I could definitely relate to the doubts in the story. The illustrations are a lovely interpretation of the circus world! I really hope you come out with a print version sometime. | |||||||||||||||||
Roy & Corina Bird: Thanks for sending this to us. It's delightful and helps us remember you from your time in Fairbanks. Roy's recommending the book to his grandsons in Utah. | |||||||||||||||||
Alison Purple Hays: I don't even know where to begin-
I think we've walked the same walk-
You're doing what I want to do- and what you've been through is what I've been through, and I'm proud of you coming out on the other side still smiling-
I really hope to see you again soon-
You have always brought laughter into my life since age what- 9? 10?
I'm just happy for you :)

Charlotte, Lee, Laurie: Hey, we just read your book. It rocked. A very sweet tale. Thank you for sharing. Yes, indeed. It's wonderful. | |||||||||||||||||
Jim: Graham, Just read this again and sent to Christy. She's been in the middle of some hard decisions, and this story continues to offer beautifully sage and sane advice in a world of crazy, self-inflated decisions. Thank you - Jim | |||||||||||||||||
Kirsten Mahoney: I would love to live in a place painted with these colors and ideas...thanks for letting me visit there, at least for a spell. | |||||||||||||||||
Brother Jason: Awesome! | |||||||||||||||||
Katie: Well, it took two readings, and then a third, backwards, to get me here, and I say, thank you. So many just right, and clever, and imaginative, and soulful, inside-outside-upside-downside things, I loved about your book. I hope that it is a board book someday for the hungry artist inside us all. It gives much to ingest and ride and ride and ride. It traveled from you, to my lovey-doveys, to me, and will keep on keeping on. Thank you, k | |||||||||||||||||

Anonymous: I particularly like the picture where he is on the tightrope with the entire earth below him—I'm sure we've all felt like that at times. | |||||||||||||||||
Adam Ruderman: Excellent job! I had no idea you were working on a children's book, but as I think about it, it is entirely appropriate! | |||||||||||||||||
Susan Pascale: Hi, I loved it!!!! congrats | |||||||||||||||||
Zion Shohet: I thought it was excellent and the illustrations are unbelievable. Sent link to all my nephews and nieces... thanks for putting some art into my weekend. | |||||||||||||||||
Robert Carnal: I liked the book and found the media format interesting. For eleven years, I was a preschool teacher (before I got into computers full time). I'd be interested to hear how this book is received by children, especially in its present format. Do you plan to do a paper book? | |||||||||||||||||
Lisa Schnell: I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Tightrope Walker! I was actually quite blown away by it—all parts of it. The illustrations are completely magical and the verse is so.... you! Funny and sweet and profound. Amazing. It's such a beautiful thing to be able to say you created. And I'm honored beyond words to have been included in your acknowledgements! | |||||||||||||||||
Lilia Assaoulenka: I read it and loved it! Very cute, easy to read and cool pictures. Wow, you are talented! I am going to read it to my son when he gets older :) | |||||||||||||||||
Andrew Beirne: Huge congratulations on getting this done. I hope it's a hit with your friendly audience and beyond. We're trying to figure out a way to create a good, sturdy, color print-out of the book for Nora. She will love the artwork. The hurdle is that she consumes books as a reader and as an infant alike, so any print-out will be page-turned, beaten, chewed, and flung. She already enjoys turning pages in certain favorite books, and I think with the colors and the graphics, your book will easily make the short list. Until then, we'll just show it to her on the computer. | |||||||||||||||||
Kathy Humphreys: I love your on-line book and all the hidden treasures. Thank you for making life sweeter by being in it and living your creative spirit out loud for the rest of us to enjoy! | |||||||||||||||||
Michael Wright: I like it, I especially like that you are in one way or another teaching existentialism to children. | |||||||||||||||||

Mareike Klemp: It's absolutely lovely!! And the drawings are fantastic! The story adorable.... I've sent it along to all my friends, and friends with kids around the world - you should think of doing a printed book. | |||||||||||||||||
Josh Henig: Waaaaaahoooooooooooo! | |||||||||||||||||
Alexandra Davidson: Wow, this is so great! Now all we need is a sound track with your voice reading the words as you turn the pages. Hee. | |||||||||||||||||

Carol McIntyre: This is such a cool book. I enjoyed it very much. I thought I would love to have a copy of it to read to my grandchildren.

I hope it goes out to the world in a book format from here. | |||||||||||||||||

I am forwarding it to everyone I know, and will definitely read it to Trevor (my son) over and over and over again. I'll also be sure to read it to MYSELF over and over and over again, whenever I feel lost or unnecessarily tied up in my own mental restraints. Bravo, and thank you so much for writing this book, and for sharing it with the world! | |||||||||||||||||
