dawgirl: Amazing story so uplifting and good for children. Something they need to know.
Thanks, I really appreciate your view point. I think adults need to know at least as much as kids, so I'm thrilled to offer the message in the form of children's story, which is subversive because it makes adults read it a lot. [Insert mad scientist laugh here]

JAC Patrissi: I say, "YES!" thank you
Glad you liked it! YES! I agree.

jinxi: Graham, thank you for your sharing. That's a best dream. It will be a good life. I had enjoyment from your book.
Thank you, Circus Monkey!

Alison Hays: MUAH!!!!
Now that's a response!

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 :) (((Alison)))
Thanks, Alison. Love the bouquet of parentheses, as J.D. Salinger would call it.

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
Katie, your word play clearly suggests a children's author at the keyboard. It all starts with good fun. You're already there. Feed your hungry artist, my friend. The starving world awaits its next meal.

J.C.: Thank you for your wonderful book; a dear friend suggested it and what a great suggestion.
That's music to my ears, J.C. Let's tell more dear friends.

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?
Yes, Robert, I'd like to print the book into the real world in a paper version. I pray for the time and dedication. I pray for such things for you as well on all your favorite projects. Thanks for writing to me. By the way, kids have been enjoying the book. I've read it to groups of them and they totally get it, which is powerful to see.

Michael Wright: I like it, I especially like that you are in one way or another teaching existentialism to children.
First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes Sartre in a baby carriage, sucking his thumb, wetting his pants, do the exi-stential dance. It looks a bit like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever, especially the leisure suit.

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.
Great idea, Eike, I will definitely think about a printed version. Thanks for the enthusiastic critique too.

Zoe Reddiger: your rhymes are running through my head all day, how fun to know such a dreamer - yay! ;)
Hey, have you considered writing children's books, Zoe?

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. Especially the one that has just learned to walk at 4 years old. What a wonderful thing you have done by putting it on the web. I hope it goes out to the world in a book format from here.
Thanks, Carol. Learning to walk at 4, eh? If I had printed copies of the book, I'd give him one right away! Thanks for the good wishes.

Marcus Popetz: Wow....that's great! Is there going to be a published version?
I hope so! Send me a publisher any time.

Chris Jenkins: I just forwarded your book on to my whole family.
You rock, Chris. Thanks for helping me share the book.
