BJ a friend of mine, your mom and Ted had also ordered the book. Her comment to me Of course Hope wanted to help the skunk and of course Bobbie helped a Ukrainian artist. The line continues. My love and admiration goes on ….
Wonderful Bobbie! I ordered a copy of your new book; can't wait to have it...When the heck did you find time to write a book, link up with an extraordinary illustrator, have a peace-promoting global adventure, and consoled, comforted and helped the war weary on the other side of the planet?? You are amazing! As my 103-year old friend used to say to me: KEEP GOING! KEEP GOING! M
Thank you, Marta! But honestly there wasn't a lot of consoling, comforting, or helping. I was very good at asking "are you okay?" and then saying, "dear lord, I'm so sorry". I'm not sure that really constitutes being helpful. Mostly I cried and felt guilty for having so much comfort and joy in my own life. But thank you, and I hope you love the book!
I’m not sure which I loved more, the book, or the story behind it. Your Mom would be incredibly proud and pleased!
Yes! to Kate’s comments… I love this story behind the story. Thank you.
Thank you, Barbara! The book definitely took on a life of its own, and it feels a bit odd to have it "completed."

That's so sweet Penny, Thank BJ and thank you for telling me. (And you forgot - "of course Ted chased a skunk"
