Natalie writes: The story is a pure delight, my senses were tickled with childlike wonder and joy! I listened with a smile on my face and goose bumps on my skin the entire time! Thank you for sharing this story (and the story behind the story).
Sam writes: And what a difference it is to listen to you telling the story!! I thoroughly enjoyed the whole poetic and rhythmic telling of it - couldn’t wipe the smile off my face most of the way through! The sound effects as well as your various character voices are brilliant, and kept me interested and imagining the scene throughout. My last recollection of listening to any story takes me back to my childhood when my mother used to play the ‘Peter and the Wolf’ record. It was a scary story to me, with scary music, at a time I’d rather not recall. But so appreciative to now have listened to your gorgeous story, which also feels like being reflective of how life for me has turned around full circle from those times, and I am becoming free to indulge the child in me now.
Maissa writes: Thank you for this mysterious tale Michael. Each time I listen to it, it produces a different insight. I wish I could write a review but my English is not very good. You tell it very well, as if you were talking to the child in every listener and the sound arrangements are great, the whole left me intrigued and content. I kept seeing visual representations of the story, I'm sure one day someone who knows how to draw will send you illustrations of it.
Isabel writes: And on the subject of children's stories, I just listened to your tale of the Green Leopard & The Chemical Factory, and Omg, the little girl in me was giddy and delighting at your story telling! Huuuuuuge smile through the whole tale, with a few cringes at the dramatic inflections too! Full on, loved hearing it! Quite amazing how it came to be as well. Thaaaaaaank you for writing, reading, and sharing this beautiful gift! And a BIG hug from my little girl!
