What a fun read! Delightful is actually the perfect word for it (which was used in a previous comment). Both your words and your illustrations made me smile and sometimes laugh out-loud. Thank you.

Thank you so much! It was so much fun to re-visit New Zealand and draw those pictures!

That was a charming treat so thank you very much. I actually came here to say thank you for pointing me towards "The Trials of Nina McCall" which I just finished and has allowed ME to treat everyone in my orbit to vehement lectures on that travesty of buried history. My next captive listener who responds with appropriate indignant cries for justice will be rewarded with a link to the sheep, so thank you for that as well.

OMG that book is amazing! I'm so glad you read it! It's crazy that no one knows about that.

What a fun story! Thanks for sharing. What could've turned out to be a nightmare (decomposing styrofoam sets left behind) became this cool, symbiotic solution!

Just a delightful, uplifting read! Counting sheep has never worked for me. Perhaps I’ll start counting hobbits!

You are a talented writer and artist--and what a delicious, multi-layered metaphor for the creative life you have given us here. Thank you!

Do sheep farmers dream of celluloid sheep?
