Reactions & Reviews
"I most definitely see this as being turned into a children's book. I actually had to read this a few times to imagine everything happening and paint all the little nuances in my mind, because despite the style and simplicity, it's layered with something deep and something that takes a few nights and days of watching the skies to really appreciate. Also, the messages being sent about love and relationships. I'm very impressed and really hope you partner with someone to make this into a panel or some other graphic representation."[5]
