"Your message arrived today just as I was sharing The Boy With the Sun Tree Bow with my part-time assistant. We were both -- he for the first time, me for the third/fourth viewing -- totally charmed, touched, deeply impacted by the story. You indicated in your original note that it was still something of "a work in progress" -- but, it seems to me, a beautifully complete work of art. I find myself getting deeply emotional with each viewing -- all right, somewhat teary-eyed! So much power in your words -- with so much supportive imagery in the animation. Extraordinary!"
- Robert D. San Souci, author of many award winning books including Fa Mulan and Sukey and the Mermaid.
