I have to share a comment that my 2-year-old daughter, Zoë, made after reading your book the other night. When we finished the last page, just before bedtime, Zoë turned her face up to mine & said, "Mommy, someday maybe can I go inside that story and play with Henry?" I asked her if she would like that. She nodded. I then asked her how she would get inside the story and she replied, "maybe we can dig a hole." Congratulations to both you and Julie Morstad on writing & illustrating such a beautiful book that my daughter literally wants to crawl inside the world you've created.
