“I cannot tell you enough how amazing this book is. I loved reading it and the ending almost did bring a happy tear. The combination of story and artwork is so in synch and so captivating that I know you will have a very successful run with this book. It will build a following and will get noticed and will eventually be a great holiday book that will get prominent placement in that pre-thanksgiving holiday hype. Soon you will have a cartoon version like the Grinch that will air every year on TV. And it all started with a real turkey who showed up and inspired you.”
