I love the look and the whole concept. The notebook style and illustrations all add to the feel. There is something very special here.

I can see the quality and sense the care and attention that has gone into it. I'm sure the audience is out there, and I hope they find it.

Without love we would not be. Can't think of a more important theme for readers young or old.

So interesting to read "behind the scenes" about what I have been reading on Medium. I find it inspiring.

Thank you so much for that, Susan. A lot of work has gone into this current project. I think I’ve come a long way in the last few years. I keep trying to make the best book possible to pass along all of the lessons my chickens have taught me!

As I've said before, JR, your work bears the distinctive tone of an *heirloom* book, a book destined to grace the shelves of more than one generation. I can easily imagine the joy it would bring as a gift with the loving dedication of a grandparent scrawled inside the front cover.

It is that kind of book.

Thank you so very much, my friend. That means more to me than I can say. My greatest hope is that children everywhere will love and learn from my chickens.

I figured that you really were. I just didn’t want someone to read that and think you were an internet meanie!
