What a simple enjoyable way to share knowledge, thoughts, and express emotions. – J.J. Moore To Stacy, my wonderful husband and best friend, who was a consummate listener, ate peanut butter sandwiches for dinner without complaint, and helped me in immeasurable ways while writing this book. Also, to the children in our family who, at every age, have shown their enthusiasm for the arts, whether it was painting, drawing, singing, playing with puppets, or putting on a show. – K.P.
